📻 165DA/CMSB13 – Among the Mysteries of Malacalzetta and San Benedetto: Mining Archaeology and Peaks in the Sulcis! 🌲⛏️⛰️

The radio-trekking journey along the Santa Barbara Mining Trail (CMSB) continues without stopping. For the thirteenth stage, scheduled for Tuesday, September 22, 2026, operator Alex 165DA101, always in company with his trusty plush toy Giacomino and aboard the inseparable white Fiat Panda 169 4×4, will head into an area of extraordinary historical and naturalistic charm, moving along the route that connects the karstic complex of Su Mannau to the historic area of San Benedetto.

🗺️ The Route: From Su Mannau to San Benedetto Passing Through Malacalzetta

Inspired by the official trail of the path, this stage crosses a rugged and magnificent territory, characterized by imposing evidence of industrial archaeology and old mining paths immersed in greenery. For this portable activation, the station will position itself in a strategic and panoramic spot: an elevated area located near the famous Malacalzetta mining area, precisely at coordinates 39.373, 8.53821 (municipality of Fluminimaggiore). Once again, the legendary off-road capabilities of the Panda 169 4×4 will allow us to reach the operating point in total autonomy and safety.
