Moderate

Taccu di Jerzu – Punta Corongiu

⏱️ Time: 3–4 hours (round trip) Difficulty: Moderate

The most accessible summit of the Tacchi di Jerzu offers a breathtaking 360° panorama over Ogliastra, from the Gulf of Arbatax to the peaks of the Gennargentu. The trail winds through Mediterranean scrubland, junipers, and holm oaks, with the limestone walls turning golden at sunset. From the top you can spot the nests of Bonelli's eagle and, with luck, mouflons grazing on the rocks.

Moderate–Challenging

Taccu Murru and the Corona Arrubia

⏱️ Time: 4–5 hours Difficulty: Moderate–Challenging

One of the most spectacular nature trails in inland Ogliastra, following a circular route across the limestone plateau of Taccu Murru. The vegetation changes dramatically from the low scrub of the slopes to the holm oak and downy oak forests on the summits. The sheer rock faces are a paradise for rock climbing and via ferrata. In spring the wildflowers make the landscape extraordinarily colourful.

Easy

Vineyard Trail

⏱️ Time: 2 hours Difficulty: Easy

A gentle route that winds through the historic Cannonau vineyards on the hills around Jerzu. The trail allows visitors to discover traditional «bush vine» cultivation techniques, understand the terroir, and appreciate how the vine adapts to the granite rock of Ogliastra. In September, during the harvest, it is possible to watch and join in the grape picking. The route ends ideally with a visit to the Cantina Antichi Poderi.

Easy

Su Pradu Forest

⏱️ Time: 1–3 hours (depending on the chosen route) Difficulty: Easy

A striking woodland area near Jerzu, characterised by a dense forest of holm oaks, strawberry trees, and centuries-old junipers. A place of peace and silence where wildlife — wild boar, foxes, pine martens — finds refuge. The forest tracks are ideal for hiking or mountain biking, with numerous picnic areas shaded by the trees. In autumn the undergrowth fills with porcini mushrooms.
