Crossing the Cixerri valley, you walk among the farming and pastoral businesses of this fertile plain, until reaching the S’Ortu Mannu Natural Park, where majestic centuries-old olive trees can be admired. Climbing back up into the hills then leads to the Monte Cadelano forest complex, which hosts the mining village of Orbai and the abandoned facilities of past extraction activities.

ACCOMMODATION INFORMATION

At present, it is not possible to stay overnight in the mining village of Orbai. Therefore, it is recommended to follow the stage 15–16 variant from Domusnovas–Musei to Rosas.

Safety and useful tips

After you go past Musei and arrive at the Station of Villamassargia, you need to cross the SP87 road after the overpass to the SS 130. Pay attention to vehicular traffic.

As you arrive in Villamassargia, you have to walk through the residential area, therefore make sure to pay attention to urban traffic.

The route then proceeds to Orbai without any particular difficulties.
