OLTRELADOMOOOO

The demo-ento-anthropological itinerary describes some aspects of Loculi’s folklore, traditions, popular culture and strong religious vocation with a reference to the agro-pastoral activities and small historical, but relevant, craft realities present.

The environmental-naturalistic itinerary tells the peculiarities and relevance of the natural environment of the Loculi area which includes extraordinary landscapes, habitats, species and is part of the prestigious MAB-UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Tepilora, Rio Posada and Montalbo.

The historical-archaeological itinerary tells the testimonies left by the civilizations and cultures of the past and the relationships they established with the surrounding environment in the form of buildings and architectures.
The innumerable and different archaeological sites of different periods and conformations are still observable today even in the land close to the inhabited centre.

The size of the mastic trees present in Su Chessarju is the result of the age of the wood. Some large trunks seem to bend and writhe on the ground like the coils of huge snakes. Some branches dry up, from still others new ones are born in a perpetual and fascinating vital motion. Some large branches of the oldest trees seem to lie down on the ground like sleeping beasts in whose wrinkles it is possible to perceive the signs of time. The conformation of the surrounding reliefs and a particular exposure of the winds mean that the fires touch the edges of the wood without ever incinerating the ancient tree formation.
