From here you can admire where in the year 1301 there was a strong explosion that led to a volcanic eruption that originated the Arso crater. The lava flow reached the sea and the lava flow has a length of 2.7 km. The lava that reached the sea gave rise to the Punta Molino area. It has been calculated that 13 million cubic meters of lava have come out, giving rise to blocky lava. Lava crests can be admired today in the pine forest of Ischia Porto/Ponte and in that of Fiaiano. In 1845 pine trees were planted on the lava flow. Paths inside the two pine forests give the opportunity to go and admire the monolithic blocks of lava that form structures and crests.
