What would it be like to go back in time to the Jurassic era? Today you will be literally catapulted into an ancestral dimension where time stands still: welcome to the “Tacchi d’Ogliastra” (heels of Ogliastra) We will ride in an absolute quiet environment, contemplating unspoiled nature as far as the eye can see. With the calm cows by our side and the large mirror of the water of the Bau Muggeris lake in the background, we will reach Perda e' Liana. It is an imposing solitary Tacco (heel) dating back to the Jurassic period that, from above of its 1293mt in height, it dominates the entire area, it is a real natural monument. Here we will stop to rest, take some photos and/or walk to the limestone rock to admire it from closer (about 15 minutes walk to reach it). The bike tour is about 35km long and thanks to electric bikes, for us today it will be all fun.
