20의 파르코 델에트나가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Sensational scenery and a sensational view. A must-see.

One of the most beautiful lava tunnels on the north side of Mount Etna is the Serracozzo Grotto (surely often visited, but not signposted). A lava tunnel is not a cave, but rather one formed during an eruption, when a crust forms on the surface of the slowly flowing lava in flatter terrain. This "tunnel" is easy to enter (assuming there's no threat of a thunderstorm (flooding!) or ice and snow making entry dangerous). Don't forget your flashlight; two cave-ins in the ceiling provide sufficient light until halfway through the tunnel, after which it becomes very shallow and pitch-dark in places. It's worth exploring!

What is crazy is that the ground is still warm to hot 23 years after the eruption in 2001.

This cave was formed from a lava flow that cooled and solidified on the outside, but continued to flow inside, leaving a hollow space behind. The Grotta Serracozzo is particularly impressive because it has collapsed in two places, allowing daylight to enter.

Great panoramic view from here

From here you have a great view of the surrounding area.

Beautiful! It's great that you can go there on your own initiative, without a guide or tour.

A must. Expensive, but worth it. Very impressive. Only with a mountain guide.
