Forra del Riu Flumineddu

Sardinia

The Flumineddu river gorge in the Barbagia is among the most dramatic canyon walks in Italy. The river cuts through pale limestone in pools of emerald water, with canyon walls closing overhead in some sections. The route requires river crossings and boulder scrambling — a full day of wilderness.
