The “Panorami e scorci” route leads into the heart of Sadali’s historic center. The “Le Vie d’acqua” route highlights the historic, archaeological and scenic features of Sadali. The “Il Sentiero Delle Fate” hiking trail leads to the natural monument Su Stampu ‘e Su Turnu.

Ceraxia is a trail for observing nature, while the “Percorso Nigòla” trail offers complete immersion in the wild landscape.

Water and historic traces

The approximately seven-meter-high Cascata di San Valentino is considered the only waterfall in Sardinia that originates within an inhabited town center. It is fed by water from the Funtana Manna and also flows through the heart of Sadali’s inhabited town center. Next to the Cascata di San Valentino is an old water mill that was used to grind grain. The Chiesa di San Valentino was built between the 9th and 10th centuries AD.

Caves and wild nature

Sa Ucca Manna is a cave with long, intact stalactites. Hydrogeologically, it serves as a reservoir and water outlet. A colony of bats lives in the “Sala del Guano” chamber of the Grotte di Is Janas. Together with Ceraxia and the Percorso Nigòla, this creates a nature experience that combines observation and movement.

Connection and flavor

The Trenino Verde connects the railway stations of Mandas and Arbatax directly with Sadali. The town also has a distinctive culinary profile: Culurgionis are ear-shaped ravioli sealed with a filling of potatoes, Pecorino and mint. The Sagra de is culurgionis takes place in Sadali at the beginning of August.
