Gola Su Gorropu · the gorge

A limestone gorge 500 metres deep, walls of sheer rock the height of skyscrapers on both sides, often called Europe's Grand Canyon and not entirely wrongly. The Genna Silana trailhead is the standard way in: a 2–3 hour scramble down, then back up, the canyon floor opening into pools clear enough to swim in. Bring a packed lunch and sturdy shoes. A full day's hike, and the antidote to a week on the beach.
