Salse di Nirano Mud Volcanoes

Highlight • Volcano

From this point you can admire a geological process that began a few millennia ago: cold clayey mud mixed with hydrocarbons rises from the subsoil, which, drying up, builds up to a few meters high volcanic-looking cones.

Imagine a real volcano in miniature; the imposing bulk of Vesuvius humiliated to the pygmy size of a pile of moles; reduce the crater to the capacity of a very mediocre funnel; the lakes of boiling lava, from which the volcanoes of Java are famous, are not a few tablespoons of salty mud, and the formidable eruptions become the release at intervals of some gallops of carburized hydrogen gas that throw some mud pills into the air: and here is represented live a sauce, or rather one of the eruptive cones that group together with a sauce.

View of the Salse di Nirano

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful landscape in every season. Three fountains on the Salse di Nirano road to fill your water bottle and refresh yourself.
One at the beginning where there is the first car park, one next to the Guido restaurant, and one on the right before the Nirano church going down from Villa
