Mt.Arci Park

If you love mountain,you can visit the Mount Arci.A mount that has been vero important during the centuries for the zone,but generally for the whole of Sardinia,especially for his obsidian business

The vegetation thickens at higher altitudes, with forests of holm oaks and downy oaks, and an undergrowth of heather, strawberry trees, cistus, and lentisk. Of particular geological interest is the fascinating natural basaltic sculpture locally known as Is Aruttas Santas.

The Obsidian of Monte Arci

Mount Arci is a volcanic massif known for its substantial presence of obsidian deposits, a hard, black glassy rock. Obsidian has been used since the Neolithic period for the creation of tools such as arrowheads and cutting instruments. On the eastern side of the massif, in the area of Pau, there are extensive outcrops of obsidian, particularly the so-called Scaba Crobina, a trail whose bottom is formed almost entirely of obsidian pieces.

The perfect place for a picnic in the shade of the trees. There are also tables, benches, and children’s play areas available. For further information and advice on possible excursions, Agriturismo Archelao is at your complete disposal.
