Gola di Gorropu
Sardinia
The Gola di Gorropu is sometimes called 'Europe's Grand Canyon.' Its walls reach 500 m height while narrowing to just 4 m at the bottom — a claustrophobic slot of ancient limestone you can touch on both sides simultaneously. The approach through the Supramonte oak forest adds to the sense of wilderness.
