Hiking
The petrifying spring is very rich in carbon dioxide and calcium carbonate, which gives it the ability to encrust objects with a layer of calcite. You can see some examples of petrified objects along the path to the spring. The spring also forms beautiful, gentle waterfalls of tuff, a type of limestone. The site is classified Natura 2000 for the protection and preservation of fauna and flora. Please respect the environment and do not disturb the wildlife.
