The Tirso is the longest river in Sardinia. It rises as Riu de su Campo north of Bitti, in the province of Nuoro on the east side of the island, flows through the Lago Omodeo reservoir and flows into Oristano on the west side of the island. In the middle reaches it is spanned by the Ponte Ezzu, an old Roman bridge, near Illorai. It is 150 km long and is only navigable in the last few kilometers. The fertile plain north of Oristano through which it flows is called the Tirso plain.

Deep inside the historic Montiferru region, surrounded by rolling hills and untouched nature, lies Santu Lussurgiu, an idyllic mountain village that seems to forget time. But this village hides a secret that is only revealed to those who set out to discover it. Follow the path as it takes you over a slightly steep path. Every step on this path, which leads down a few steps, makes the anticipation grow. And then, at the end of this path, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking spectacle: the Cascata di Sos Molinos. A waterfall where the crystal clear water plunges an impressive 12 meters into the depths. The gentle sound of the water mixing with the singing of birds and the sound of the wind creates an atmosphere of calm and peace. Even when the leaves change color in autumn and nature prepares for winter, the water of the Riu sos Molinos still bubbles powerfully and lively. It is a place where you can experience the power and beauty of nature up close. Take a moment, sit on one of the stones at the edge of the falling pool and let yourself be enchanted by the magic of this place. A visit to the Cascata Riu sos Molinos is not only a feast for the eyes, but also balm for the soul. It's a little paradise waiting for you to discover.
