Lake Cucchinadorza in the province of Nuoro, sits at the foot of the Gennargentu mountain range and offers stunning views of the three surrounding towns: Ollolai, Ovodda and Teti.
Nestled deep in the valley, Lake Cucchinadorza provides the nature-lover in you with a plethora of wildlife, hiking & horseback trails and a staggering panorama of the neighbouring towns.

Beautiful!
Stunning! As much as I love the beach I also love the lakes and surrounding areas. Have you been to Lago Coghinas? My dad grew up in the area…it’s breathtaking! People need to see these place…not just the beaches in Sardinia!
You’re right! Too many people never leave Sardinia’s coastline, there is so much to offer and see on the interior. I’ve been to Lago Coghinas and it’s just as lovely! This fall/winter I’m making it a point to visit the interior of the island more.
If you happen to pass by the lake again, through a pebble in the water and tell it it’s from me…it knows who I am.!!!!
I most certainly will, was just talking with my girlfriend and we are already planning another visit … this weekend!
I think you’ll need to write a new blog to explain us how pronounce Cooky-dorza like a Sardinian 🙂
I’m still having troubles myself!
Well, now you’re just pandering 🙂
What kind of wildlife is there? Any big animals?
Deer, wild boar, horses, the Sardinian Hare, wild rabbit and the list goes on … 🙂
Wow, that’s crazy. Big animals arent very common on the islands, plus I just dont exactly associate Italy with anything wild (except for men, in certain scenarios, and in a good way). You just keep blowing my mind!
There are a lot of wild men in Sardinia! I should know, I married one. 😉 Glad I could blow your mind.
