To Monte Grighine

There must be a reason why the power generator Nordex, on behalf of the electricity supplier EDF, has installed a total of 43 wind turbines with a rotor diameter of 90 metres on Monte Grighine. It is most likely the exposed location of the 473 metre high mountain and the sea, which is just 30 kilometres away as the crow flies. When the wind blows from the west, as it usually does, the propellers on the Grighine get quite a bit of momentum. And therefore need to be properly maintained. For this reason, they also need to be accessible for heavier vehicles. So, now it gets interesting for us off-roaders - because these maintenance routes are usually well-maintained tracks with compacted gravel. Asphalt would be too expensive and also unnecessary. So what could be more natural than taking a nice tour to Monte Grighine on these roads?

It starts on the SS 388 near Fordongianus, climbs comfortably, descends a little to the SP 39 and then attacks the western flank of Monte Grighine. Everything is beautifully harmonious on decent gravel. The top of the mountain with the summit cross is defended by a short but steep climb, which you can do or not. The subsequent descent down to the SP 35 is then easy again.
