Hiking between Sant’Antonio and Monte Corongiu
Two route connections are particularly specific for hiking plans. Stage Z21B of the Sentiero Italia leads to the forecourt of the rural church of Sant’Antonio di Jerzu, where there is a fountain. The Muvroni – Sa Canna trail (C-510) begins at the junction with trail C 204 in the Muvroni area and runs along an unpaved path beside the limestone plateau of Monte Corongiu. When choosing a holiday apartment in Jerzu, you can decide in advance which of these different hiking focuses better suits your stay.
Archaeology, natural history and sacred art
At the foot of Monte Corongiu lies the Punic necropolis of Monte Corongiu, with several tombs and the remains of a hut. Jerzu also has a natural history museum established to enhance and protect the town’s environmental heritage.
