SARDINIAN TREKKING
DOCUMENTATION CENTER |
| ... dal 1989, CENTRO TREKKING SARDEGNA |
 |
At
the Bocca del Vulcano Restaurant of Santu Lussurgiu is the
headquarters of the Centro Documentazione Trekking Sardegna
(Sardinian Trekking Documentation Center - Telefax: 0783/550974
- Cell. 349/3717885 - e-mail: mondotrekking@laboccadelvulcano.it).
The Center furnishes indications and information on the archeological,
historical-artistic, ethnographic, naturalistic and environmental
features of Montiferru, plans differentiated itineraries
and guarantees top-level assistance for excursions, also
off the beaten trail, in Montiferru.
Already in 1989, when
the word trekking was used in Sardinia only by a small circle
of enthusiasts, the Centro Documentazione Trekking Sardegna
was being founded at Santu Lussurgiu, in affiliation with
the national C.D.T. of the same name located at Sala Baganza
(PR). In collaboration with the Santu Lussurgiu High School
the Association has planned, traversed and documented a series
of itineraries in Montiferru, some of which have been published
in La Rivista del Trekking.
Among these are:
The Volcanic Massif of Montiferru (n° 27,
March 1989), republished under the same title in the "Speciale
Oristano" of the following year;
Beyond the volcano towards
the sea (n° 61, November-December 1992), which allowed
the "A. Segni" Junior High School of Santu Lussurgiu to win
first place in the VII National
Edition of the contest for the best itinerary of historical-artistic,
wine-tasting and naturalistic trekking, and to receive the congratulations
of the then Minister of Public Education and the Under Secretary
of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers on the occasion
of the awarding of the prizes in connection with the Quota800
Fair.
This itinerary was then republished in tens of thousands
of copies on October 9, 1993 in the "Speciale Oristano" (supplement
to n° 9 of "La Rivista del Trekking", and, in 1994, also
by the WWF ITALIA in its
CamminaSardegna (Edizioni Ambiente).
In the following years
the Centro Documentazione Trekking Sardegna planned, traversed
and documented numerous other itineraries mainly in Montiferru,
but also on Gennargentu and Supramonte. It has also organized,
in collaboration with operators in the fields of tourism,
commerce and local crafts, six editions of the Montiferru
Trekking Prize, allowing numerous school groups, Associations
and Brotherhoods coming from all over the Island as well
as from the Continent to visit Santu Lussurgiu and Montiferru,
participating in planning the best itinerary for historical-artistic,
wine-tasting and naturalistic trekking.
These activities,
in addition to exerting a vital educational impact on young
people in particular, have significantly incremented the
presence of visitors to the territory in low season, while
simultaneously making it possible to list and valorize the
numerous archeological and environmental features of Montiferru,
to collect and catalogue the many itineraries planned, to
be used for the future publication of a true guide to Trekking
in Montiferru. Some of these itineraries, revised and updated,
are housed in the site and can be clicked on from the home
page.
