Rest stop with fountain. The upper fountain, although recently renovated, is dry at the time of the highlight creation (10/2024). The tap immediately below works very well, and the water is fresh and drinkable. A path branches off above the fountain into the woods.

Visible from the road, accessible through a gate (or by climbing over the low wall) you can see the ruins of old shepherds' huts, old houses and the remains of megalithic constructions (such as the base of an unusually built nuraghe resting on a rock face).

Small country village near Bolotana, immersed in a forest that, if it ever had them, today does not have the willows that give it its name (Badde Salighes translates into Italian as "valley of willows"). The village is made up of a handful of houses, uninhabited or at least not permanently inhabited. Villa Piercy stands out and, apart from weekends with tourists everywhere, a silence broken only by the sounds of nature.
