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.

Interesting experience, I'm not from the area and I didn't know them but they were a nice discovery! Visit accessible to all. Well maintained area.

Hiking

The most evocative part of the tour is undoubtedly the stretch of path that from "Cà Rossa" crosses (partly on wooden walkways also suitable for the disabled) the mud volcano area, which can be admired at very close range, obviously without touching anything! Since you enter a marshy area, equip yourself with adequate shoes, even boots might be useful if it has rained recently! The "short" tour that starts from the car park, reaches Cà Rossa via the "dragonfly path" and returns to the car park via the "owl path" takes about an hour.
