The Ogliastra mountains as a backdropSplendid old buildings, neat squares, a breathtaking scenic backdrop; Lanusei, the capital of the Province of Ogliastra, is located in the east of Sardinia on the ridges between Mount Gennargentu and the coast, and betwixt the green of the hinterland and the deep-blue sea. It enjoys a magnificent position set in the midst of natural wonders and easily-reachable sites of great tourist and cultural interest.
SeleneThe majestic communal wood of Selene stands in the western part of the area, not far from the inhabited centre of Lanusei. It lies on a granite mountain which can be reached along the SS 198. Here we find an unspoilt environment which stretches for about 1000 m, where it is possible to observe both wonderful waterfalls and appreciate a considerably important context for animal life.
