A walk through old railways and mines
Not everyone knows that there was a brief mining past on the slopes of the Tacchi d’Ogliastra… a past that has left some evidence hidden among holm oak forests, Mediterranean scrub and white limestone ravines. We will walk along a stretch of the old, now disused railway line that connected these sites to the old station, now the Stazione dell’arte.
During the walk we will have the opportunity to observe the flora and traces of fauna that inhabit these places and there will be no shortage of panoramic views.
To ensure the success of the activities, reservations are required by the day before.
We recommend bringing trekking shoes, bandanas/caps, snacks/fruit and a good supply of water.

Walk through the vineyards at donkey pace and tasting
Excursion among the vineyards in the Tacchi d'Ogliastra: visit on foot and with Sardinian donkeys the village of Jerzu, famous for its wine and discover the beauty of the landscapes of the Tacchi.<
According to Greek legends, it was Aristaeus who introduced cultivation to Sardinia. The hero settled there for the beauty of the land. Today it is certain that winemaking on the island dates back at least to the 15th century BC: according to archaeologists, botanists and chemists, the oldest wine in the Western Mediterranean was Sardinian, a sort of Cannonau from over three thousand years ago.
Schedule
The excursion will be an opportunity to taste the famous Cannonau wine but also to discover local products (fresh ricotta, coccoi prena, etc.), to walk with our Sardinian donkeys.
The excellent Sardinian wine is one of the explanations for the famous longevity of the inhabitants of Ogliastra.
The meeting point is agreed upon in the church square in the locality of S. Antonio di Jerzu at 9:00 am;
The excursion will last approximately 3 hours during which the history of the places and the importance of the donkey in the history of man will be illustrated;
