Seven Forest Brothers, the mountain

It is a mountain range, part of a large outcrop that lasts for the entire length of the island and which reaches even Corsica. The area of the Sarrabus, one of our interest, is touched only marginally from the granitic complex. There are in fact in, beyond the hard stone, even shale outcrops, from no less than the silurico.

Note that surprises most is perhaps the presence, in a context characterised by a strong dryness, of sources of;water that never occur in excessive scope. Numerous sources are present in the area. While it remains very little of;ancient forest, almost completely destroyed due to improper use by the;man. At the beginning of the second world war the forest was defaced for reasons of war, and forest residues;membership of State property were affected by cutting around the 1950 by private firms and contractors for the production of valuable coal and firewood. Let us not forget that the;advent of mechanization, stimulated, with the;opening of roads, cutting plants, While the scourge of fires It was always more troubling shadow, still not dismissed. Odiernamente parts, under the supervision of the;men are destined to resume its original green. The presence of the Former Penal Colony also marked the territory concerned. Are present, now increasingly radi, the ancient displacement, and also a dense network of trails in all probability used by inmates and jailers on each shift. Many of these forward in the thick of the forest, and not being tracked is always advisable, for hikers, the presence of an expert of the territory, because the loss of;orientation is absolutely possible. The 9 June 1999 with a regional law, the;State-owned company of the regione Sardegna is suppressed and is established the;Forestry Agency of Sardinia.
