Còlti, Mount Almuttu with its woody slopes, Sitagliacciu; at South-west Mastru Ghjòlghju hills and Arèsula;

Mount Nieddu is an area protected by regional law n° 31 of 1989 located between territories of San Teodoro and

Mount Nieddu was just known in the past for its dark forest of old holm-oaks, junipers and a lot of different yews
(taxus baccata) that created big woods a long time.
Now the area is covered with typical Mediterranean scrub.
In this kind of forest one find wild boars, martens and wild cats; in the highest rocks live rare raptors like
peregrine and golden eagles. There are even a lot of ravens and partridges.
From Mount Nieddu a lot of small watercourses created different natural pools and amazing waterfalls.
