Attractions and Places To See around Nureci - Top 20

In summer the lake is dry, but there is a good chance of seeing wild horses at the nearby springs.

The German-language television series “Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity” – which I can recommend without reservation – devotes a quarter-hour report to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the “NURAGHI” in Sardinia and the traditional shepherds’ song known there as “Canto a Tenore”. The accompanying text to the programme states: “Over seven thousand round towers made of stone blocks weighing several tons are scattered all over Sardinia. Often only the stumps of these megalithic buildings, called nuraghi, remain. The first were built around 1400 BC. Small stones were placed between the mighty blocks, a construction method that made the stone towers safe from collapse." This article (episode 413 of the series) can be accessed in the ARD media library at the following link => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/sardinien/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS8xNTg4MzM5MA

Here you can see wild horses and lots of insects. We saw the horses at the lake, it was really magical 🤩

There is a documentary about the model for this modern, but reminiscent of ancient models, documentation - which in my opinion is fully recommended: The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" is dedicated to the UNESCO world cultural heritage of the "NURAGHI" in Sardinia and a fifteen-minute contribution to the traditional shepherd's song known there as “Canto a Tenore”. The text accompanying the program says “Over seven thousand round towers made of stone pieces weighing tons are scattered all over Sardinia. Often only the stumps of these megalithic buildings, called nuraghi, remain. The first were around 1400 BC. Built. Small stones were placed between the mighty blocks, a construction method that made the stone towers collapse-proof.” This article (episode 413 of the series) is available in the ARD media library under the following link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/sardinien/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS8xNTg4MzM5MA

Sardinia's largest urban park is located on the border between the provinces of Oristano and Nuoro, a botanical paradise of rare plants and a wonderful destination for nature lovers. In the historical area of Sarcidano, there is a place where you can take beautiful walks on nature trails, surrounded by countless plant species and medieval ruins: the Aymerich Park, a 22-hectare oasis that was the property of the Marquises until 1990, the feudal owners of this oasis-like stretch of land. The creator of this nature reserve was Don Ignazio Aymerich Ripoli, a botanist who brought rare plants from his numerous trips abroad starting from the mid-19th century. It is an unusual excursion, as it is located in the heart of the town of Laconi, about 60 km from Oristano and 90 km from Cagliari. The walk will take you through alleys adorned with a fresh and vibrant atmosphere. It begins in a forest of oaks, olive groves, and locust trees, dotted with natural ponds, streams, waterfalls, and pools. As you venture deeper into the park, you will see a wide variety of orchids, including native ones like Ophris laconensis and Sarcidanis. Among the tree-lined avenues, you will find unusual forms of vegetation such as Pyracantha coccinea and Collectia cruciata, whose leaves are reminiscent of military aircraft, as well as exotic plants like the majestic Lebanon and Himalayan cedar, trees of extraordinary size. Then there are plants from not far away but not common ones such as the Corsican pine, the Fagus sylvatica, the Southern Magnolia, and the Taxus baccata, known as the “tree of death”. Water is a recurring theme and a source of life for the park. It flows abundantly all year round, forming rivers that then fall, such as the Cascata Maggiore or “great waterfalls,” one of the park's many attractions.
