A quiet corner of Anglona
Just under 2 km from Martis in northwestern Sardinia, Triulintas is a calm, shady valley walk that ends at a 15-meter waterfall and a small natural pool. The site sits in the historic Anglona area, and you can still see the remains of a water mill that worked until the mid-20th century, according to the regional tourism board (Sardegna Turismo).The trail: what to expect
The path starts at a small pull-off along the Triulintas road just beyond the exit from Martis toward Nulvi. From the parking area, a clear track follows the Rio Masino through willows and elms, with the sound of water and seasonal dragonflies for company. You will cross a couple of wooden bridges and pass viewpoints before reaching the base of the falls.- Trail length: about 2 km round trip
- Time: roughly 40 minutes total, plus stops
- Grade: easy to moderate; short, uneven sections
- Family note: fine for children used to walking; not stroller-friendly
- Footwear: closed shoes with good grip
- Services: none on site; bring water and sun protection
- Entrance: free
When to go
Water flow is strongest from late autumn through spring, especially December to April after seasonal rains. In summer the stream can run lower, but the walk remains pleasant thanks to shade along the river corridor.Getting there and parking
Triulintas is about 35 km from Sassari, around 40 minutes by car. Drive to Martis, then follow signs toward Nulvi and the Triulintas access road. Parking is a small roadside pull-off near the trailhead; avoid blocking gates or narrow passing places.Itinerary tip: make it a half-day
Combine the falls with the Carrucana Petrified Forest near Martis, an unusual paleobotanical site where ancient trees turned to stone over millions of years (Sardegna Turismo). Back in the village, a stroll through the historic center and a visit to the Church of San Pantaleo round out the outing.Essential info at a glance
