Monte Limbara is certainly one of the most popular mountain areas in Sardinia: Granite stones formed by wind and weather, in the middle of a dense forest landscape of pines, firs, juniper and cork trees with streams and springs, offer everything for a wonderful hiking holiday.
The Punta Sa Berritta still reaches 1,362 m, and near Punta Balistreri (1,359 m) is the church of the Madonna della Neve.
The slopes of Limbara are partially covered with vineyards and the bees feed on nectar and honeydew here.
The Sardinian-Corsican violet also grows here, a rare flower that can only be found in Corsica and Sardinia and on the island of Elba.
The fauna of Limbara is diverse, there are wild boars, mouflons, weasels, martens, wild rabbits, the Sardinian hare and the Bedriaga lizard.
Bird species include the golden eagle, the buzzard, the peregrine falcon and the hawk.
