On the Trenino Verde travelling around the most beautiful areas

The Trenino Verde of the Sardinian railways is one of the most suitable means of transport for who wants to know the most wild and fascinating areas of the island, even if it is not always possible to travel on the old carriages and to admire the steam locomotive.

The Trenino Verde was established in 1985 and till now it has tranported hundreds thousands tourists from all around the world. With reservation it is possible to ask for the steam locomotiveand the period carriage fully in wood: speed lowers but a throw-back to the past can be very agreeable. The Sardinian railways, which manages more than 600 kilometers of railway lines (for the pubblic local transport and for the touristc lines), have preserved in good condition stations and crossing keeper boxes too: soon in some of these sites will stand some museums, thanks to the Autonomous Region of Sardinia.

The great English writer David Herbert Lawrence, who visited the village of Mandas in 1921 and told his journey in Sardinia, in his book “Sea and Sardinia” declared: “doesn't matter where the train goes. The important is to decide to take it”. A spirit that to someone could maybe seem extravagantly adventurous, but which Engedras wants to embrace accosting it to a series of cultural and eating-and-drinking events in every province of Sardinia.

Four are the legs, which cross the island: the longest one, is maybe the most beautiful as well, it is the Mandas-Arbatax. However, also the Macomer-Bosa, the Isili-Sorgono and the Nulvi-Palau legs are of a great emotional impact, they permit to discover some of the most fascinating areas of Sardinia weather in the heartland or on the sea.
