He travels in the green train of Sardinia

Does it long to you for a picturesque walk in train for the island of Sardinia? Today we mount ourselves in the small green train, Trenino Verde of Sardinia, which in fact are three trains in one. At the end of the decade of 1890 three tracks were constructed to drive to the trains of transports and goods from the mountainous interior of the island up to the ports of the coast.

One of the stretches has about nine kilometers along the north coast, between Nulvi and Palau, a people that stays opposite to the Capri, cradle of famous Giuseppe Garibaldi, national hero in Italy. The second stretch winds covering the fourth three parts of the center of Sardinia, between Bossa, on the coast west, and Nuoro. The third stretch forms a species of Y wick, which Cagliari connects, the capital of the island, with the people of mountain of Isili.

Before coming to Isili, the route splits into two, lightly to the Bequests North-East, to the north of Sorgono, while another ramification goes in zigzag to the east up to the coastal city of Arbatax.

The Green Train covers tunnels across mountains, bridges on rivers and vales, embracing the hills. The scenery is splashed of with small peoples that it seems that they make the color of the train more green. Nature reserves, forests, caves, structures of ancient stone, and nature reserves like that of Giara Cavallini, are only some of the reasons for which this train got the green designation.

Not far from Bequests you will see an important archaeological place. It is a question of your Nuraxi di Barumini. I dress from the air, the stone complex looks like a castle walled with towers and adjacent buildings. The structure known as Nuraghe, goes back at the Age of the Bronze, and his construction is typical of Sardinia. This complex is catalogued like Patrimony of the Humanity by the UNESCO.

In 1821, D.H. Lawrence and his wife mounted the route of the train of Cagliari to Bequests, and in Sordono. Lawrence wrote on his trips for sea and for Sardinia. Most of the passengers of that one then were the local farmers and the shepherds, who were going to buy to the Roman Pecorino market. They were traveling in seated steam trains and in wooden seats.

Nowadays these trains lodge the tourists who travel to Sardinia. From the middle of June to medium of September, the locomotive and his cars move us to a peace scenery in the Sardinia.
