Scala di San Giorgio (Osini)

Along the series of rocky cliffs that delimit the vast limestone plateau called Taccu of Osini, to the east, is Scala di San Giorgio (St George’s ladder) that is about 870 -928 mt asl; from 1989 is a Monumento Naturale della Sardegna. For ladder the local people intend a steep and rugged pass through a crag. In fact it is a very narrow gorge, with high limestone-dolomitic walls, through which runs the road coming from nearby Osini
