Gennargentu

The 1373rd highest mountain range in the world

1,834m

Gennargentu ([dʒennarˈdʒɛntu], Sardinian: Ghennarghentu [ɡɛnːaɾˈɡentu]) is a large massif in central-southern Sardinia, Italy, encompassing the provinces of Nuoro and Ogliastra. It includes the highest peaks on the island, such as Punta La Marmora (1, 834 m or 6, 017 ft), Monte Spada (1, 595 m or 5, 233 ft), Punta Erbas Virdes (1, 676 m or 5, 499 ft), Bruncu Spina (1, 829 m or 6, 001 ft) and Punta Paulinu (1, 792 m or 5, 879 ft). The range forms part of the Gennargentu National Park. Geologically, its rocks are amongst the oldest in Europe, and are therefore smooth shaped: rock types include schist, limestone and granite.

Location: Italy.
