Itinerary

This 30 km tour will take you to discover the wild Asinara. Starting from Fornelli, while you fasten your helmet and settle into your e-bike, the guide will delight you by telling the history about the island. You will cycle along the Campu Perdu plain on the way to the Austro-Hungarian Ossuary, where the Serbian prisoners of the First World War were buried. During your ride, the buildings of the former colony will stand out against the landscape while the Sardinian horses graze placidly on the pastures of the plain. Then we will cross the bridge of the Campu Perdu Lagoon. After a suggestive ride along the coast, we will finally reach the marine animal recovery center of the National Park. In respect of the environment, you will be able to chat with the operators of the center and they will explain to you the various recovery activities that are carried out here. Get ready to make a special encounter: the sea turtles in the center can't wait to meet you! Leaving the recovery center, we will head towards Cala d'Oliva riding in a fascinating path along the seaside. From here we will take the main road again, from which you can admire a breathtaking panorama overlooking the beaches of the white donkeys: Cala Napoleone, Cala del Gelso and Cala dei Detenuti. We will continue up to the Aragon Tower and the Great Cannon. Here we will stop for a few shots. Smile and take a selfie! Once in Cala d'Oliva we will visit the house where two important figures for Italian justice against mafia lived: judges Falcone and Borsellino. In 1986, between these walls they wrote the famous case of Palermo. We will stop here for a lunch break and some relax. We will then resume the tour to visit the Prison-Museum, where the cells and rooms dedicated to the prisoners' free time can still be visited. Feeling tired? Let's hope not, because here it comes the best part! If you prefer, before going to Cala Sabina, we will undertake the climb leading to Punta Scomunica. Here you can admire a 360° panorama, and it will be an unforgettable moment. Take a ride around and observe the beauty of the Asinara island in its entirety. Once in Cala Sabina, after such a full and exciting day, a nice regenerating bath awaits you! Enjoy the beach and the coolness of the water before taking the ferry back and concluding our tour.
