Mount Etna Birch Forest

Highlight • Forest

The play of colors is fantastic. The paths are easy to walk. However, the birch trees are increasingly suffering from the high temperatures. Many have a darker brownish bark.

View of Mount Etna

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is the landscape one would expect to see on the slopes of an active volcano. The geologically recent lava flows have not yet been colonized by vegetation.
