The Municipal Administration of Sassari has returned a significant part of its territory to the citizenship thanks to the interventions of recovery of some paths that were habitually used in the past and that, over time, were completely forgotten also because of the thick vegetation that covered them, making them no longer practicable. The paths connected several localities including Logulentu, Badde Tolta, Eba Giara, Filigheddu, Luna and Sole. Landscapes and trails that are easily accessible today, still preserving historical evidence and past uses of an area rich in charm and still little known. The itineraries, marked with Italian Alpine Club symbology and numbered thanks to the collaboration of the Sassari section, also allow visitors to easily learn about an area of considerable naturalistic interest. During the restoration work, some of the ancient spring water channelization works were rediscovered. The Barca spring area in the past served as the main axis connecting the Monte Bianchinu and Logulentu areas. Several water mills are visible there, important evidence of industrial milling and hydraulic archaeology.In fact, the Logulentu valley is called the “Valley of the Mills” and has always been characterized by an abundance of water and lush vegetation. The lithologies outcropping in this area are represented by Miocene (23.03 to 5.332 million years ago) limestone rocks. The countryside of Logulentu was renowned and mentioned by nineteenth-century travelers, including Valery, who described it as follows: “The most pleasant part of the d’intorni di Sassari is the valley of Logulentu, laughing, fertile, rich in water, cultivated with orange, olive, poplar and even palm trees whose shades of green, mixed thickened, offer a thousand pleasant nuances.”
