Piscina Irgas, Natural waterfall in Monte Linas mountains, Villacidro, Italy.
Piscina Irgas is a waterfall in the Monte Linas mountains that plunges about 45 meters into a gorge. The water collects in natural pools surrounded by granite rock formations along the Rio Oridda river.
The Rio Oridda has shaped the surrounding granite walls over many centuries, creating deep valleys in the mountain range. This gradual geological process formed the landscape visitors see today.
The waterfall and its surrounding area serve as a meeting point for nature photographers and hikers who document Sardinian natural landscapes.
Reaching the waterfall requires about a 2-hour hike from the parking area near Cantina Ferraris, with red and white trail markers showing the way. Proper footwear and plenty of water are essential, particularly on warm days.
The water filling the natural pools comes from mountain springs flowing through rock crevices, with the strongest flow occurring during winter and spring months. In drier seasons, the water volume drops noticeably.
