Gola di Su Gorropu, Barbagia
Sardinia
Su Gorropu in the Barbagia of Sardinia is Europe's deepest canyon — 500 m vertical limestone walls that narrow to 4 m at the bottom. The approach from the Flumineddu river requires boulder scrambling. The canyon floor is a labyrinth of boulders and ancient holm oak trees. Griffon vulture and golden eagle overhead. Mouflon on the canyon rims. An extraordinary landscape.
