rzulei is a small town in the north of the Ogliastra region, with a population of around 1,400 inhabitants. The territory has remained nearly unspoiled over the years, the soil is predominantly calcareous and there is an abundance of dolinas, cliffs, unexplored caves and deep gorges, the most famous being Gorropu Gorge, one of the largest ones in Europe. However, there are also gently-undulating mountains and hills and woods with many ancient trees.
