Trekking Route | |
The path extends throughout the island of Sardinia for 1284 kilometers (798 miles) making it the longest trek in Italy. The trek can be divided into two paths: the eastern path and the western path. Beaches and Mediterranean scrub, from Cagliari to Gallura characterize the eastern section. The western section traverses ponds, lagoons, and coastal dunes from Castelsardo to Cagliari.[1]
The path runs counterclockwise and consists of eight named stages: Street of Angels; Street of Sarcapos; Street Ogliastra; Street Gallura; Street Catalana; Street of the Giants, Streets of the Mines and Street of Martyrdom.[2] The estimated time to complete the entire trek varies from 45 to 60 days, depending on the experience and fitness of the walker.[3] The path can also be broken down into shorter itineraries and completed in fewer days.
It has been recognized by the Register of Paths of Sardinia and Religious and Spiritual Itineraries (Registro Dei Cammini di Sardegna e Degli Itinerari Religiosi e Dello Spirito) as representing the Sardinian identity, spirit and culture.[4]
The path follows the coastline at an average distance of two kilometers from the shore, crossing beaches, towns, and cities, with extensive views of the Sarninian coastline and hills.[5]
This itinerary is used for various outdoor activities, including trekking, hiking, camping, and bike riding.
