La Magia di Antas

Posted on by

Perchè è stato edificato proprio lì più di duemila anni fa?
Ci sono dei luoghi e delle atmosfere che mi fanno stare bene e se non fossi fondamentalmente razionale direi magiche.

Il Tempio di Antas ha un suo fascino perchè è in mezzo al nulla o per essere più precisi è in mezzo alla natura da cui trae energia.

E’ bello arrivarci percorrendo la strada Romana immersa tra lecci, querce e bassa vegetazione mediterranea. Strada costruita sempre in antichità per collegare il Tempo ad un altro luogo magico. Le Grotte di Su Mannau.

Quando il bosco si dirada e lo sguardo riesce ad avere un orizzonte più ampio, si apre una piccola pianura e alla sinistra appaiono le antiche colonne.

La piana con il Tempio che la chiude su un lato si apprezza una volta che, preso il sentiero che porta alle cave, si sale di qualche decina di metri tanto da avere una visione dall’alto.

Quest’anno sono due le gare che passano per Antas, sia la 36 km che la 58 km.

Quando arriverete al ristoro perdete qualche secondo in più, poggiate una mano su quelle pietre millenarie e traetene nuova energia.

Pranu Sartu and the Henry Gallery

Posted on by

After less than a kilometer from the starting line, you will cross the Henry Gallery in loc. Planu Sartu, the most important mining facility close to Buggerru.

Excavated in 1865, it was used for the rail transport of ores from the underground to distant washeries. Located 50 meters above sea level and the built-up area of Buggerru, it crosses the local plateau for about a kilometer.

If the original purpose was to facilitate the transport of metals from the local mines to the port of Buggerru, now it turns out to be a place of rare beauty, thanks to the breathtaking sea views it offers.

This passageway dug through the rock is impressive: the size was determined by the use in 1892 of a steam locomotive. It was part of a modern railway network that soon replaced the slow and expensive transport by pack animals, such as mules.

The gallery is a sort of suggestive labyrinth: secured, illuminated and endowed with indications, it is now accessible in complete safety. Its uniqueness consists in a perpetual relationship with the cliff on the sea through its minor tunnels and walkways carved, like windows, in the rock. Thanks to these openings you may enjoy suggestive views of the coast overlooking the sea.

The Paths of the Trail del Marganai 2020

Posted on by

Here are the paths of the Marganai Trail 2020 between news and confirmations.

To begin with, even if you find them on the site menu, these are the links to the related pages:

Tracks with relative distances and altimeters are still for a few weeks to be considered temporary, that is, they could still undergo some minor modification or adjustment.

All the routes will start from the town of Buggerru and without delay along the coast they will proceed inland.

The 22 km has a completely new path.

The 34 km is almost completely new, because it shares with the tracks of the past editions the segment from the Temple of Antas to the caves of Su Mannau which however will be done in the opposite direction to what was done previously.
For those who have already covered it, in this edition it will be downhill!

The 56 km track is the one that keeps the most distance with what was done in past years.
From the Temple of Antas we will continue along the Roman Cave path and head towards Malacalzetta.
Once left the ruins of the buildings of the old mines, we face the climb that instead of going towards the descent to the mines of Reigraxius will stretch up to the Punta Campu Spina, the highest point of all the routes.
From here, after the big descent into the woods, we will head towards Arenas and, kilometer after kilometer, up to the vaults of the Su Mannau Caves.
Here he will rejoin us on the new section of the 34 until we arrive.

The last kilometers of all three races will offer a spectacular view of the coasts of Buggerru and Fluminimaggiore.

Soon we will begin to publish photos of new features.

For registration, just a little more patience. Soon you start!

also this year trail and charity

Posted on by

Contributing in some way to charity is one of the objectives that the Trail del Marganai has always tried to pursue.

In previous editions we gave our contribution by supporting voluntary associations that guarantee us safety during the event, buying and donating portable DVD players with cartoons for their little guests to the pediatric CTO of Iglesias, contributing to the preparation of the inclusive play area in Domusnovas.

In line with what has been done in the past, we have decided that this year two euros for each registered will be allocated to a social project that we will shortly define.

Now it is up to all of you, with your inscriptions, to determine what the amount to be allocated to the next project will be!
