On the SS125 Cagliari-Muravera regional road, stop at the turnoff for Burcei. To get here by car or public transport (in the case of the latter, tell the driver the desired destination and he will stop there).
Path description:
At the turn-off for Burcei, first take the SS125 regional road from Cagliari towards Muravera. After 8 minutes, the Corpo Forestale building appears on the right and then immediately the bridge over the Campuomo River (sign: Rio Campuomo). Immediately afterwards, a footpath begins on the right, marked "Sentiero Italia, Campuomo, Castiadas". The trail is further marked by white diamond-shaped markings with a red cross (see pictures).
After 10 minutes, the trail reaches a crossroads where it continues to the left. After a slightly steeper (and less well marked) but short section, the path joins a dirt road which is followed uphill towards the "Conventu" signs. At the next crossroads turn right. At an altitude of about 600 m, the ruins of a former monastery (Conventu de Sette Fradi / Conventu de Sette Fratelli) can be found along the way. From the ruins, you continue along a wooded path and soon you have to cross the small river "Riu Guventu" on stones. The path then climbs steeply. Near the plateau there is a final fork where you turn left. The trail then passes through a plateau, from which rise various peaks up to several tens of metres high, but which are more difficult to reach.
It is possible to continue to Castiadas.
