 | Excursion to the Gorge Gorropu | |
 | Gorropu gorge
Gorropu is an enormous gorge caused by a tectonic movement. It was later eroded both by the water of the river “Flumineddu” and by atmospheric agents. It has cliff faces that are higher than 400 meters. The excursion starts from Dorgali, going first through the Oddoene valley. After crossing the “Sa barva” bridge the route runs along the “Flumineddu” river to the entrance of the gorge. Rich vegetation lines the sides of the road. Inside the gorge the excursion follows along a riverbed of the river that now flows underground and comes up every now and then, like for example at the spring at the entrance to the gorge. Returning from the walk, in this place you will have a snack of packed lunch with typical local products. The path is difficult only in the final part of the gorge, but the most interesting part is in the entrance because if allows you to see the highest cliff faces in Europe. |
