Naturalist Routes:
If you would like to go trekking in the nature
on breath taking itineraries you can choose among three main aternatives
|
13.
Vesuvius and HELL'S VALLEY
The most dangerous of the active volcans in Italy
and in Europe seems sleeping peacefully in its dominant position
in the centre of Gulf, just like a body that embraces with its arms
this mirror of water. Suggestive and full with scars for its changeable
aspect, it's present in the imaginary of the whole world, and, of
course of Neapolitans. It offers to visitors, an easy walk to the
impressive 500 hundreds metres wide mouth and several itineraries
of different difficulty (never too much) that take from 3 to 5 hours
trekking. The paths can go through green sides of Piano delle Ginestre,
touching the latest flows of lava of 1944 eruption or up on the
edge of the old crater of Vesuvio that is the Mount Somma, just
aside of the main crater. Another path goes through the Hell's Valley
closed by the old and new crater where a moon lunar landscape unfolds.
Length of the visit: up to the crater 1 hour. Trekking
tours can last 3 or five hours

14.
Monte Nuovo
The volcan which arose in only one night once upon
1538, is now a dead crater of 180 metres covered by a green vegetation
and allows suggestive sights of the whole volcanic area of Campi
Flegrei. Nowadays is naturalistic park.

15.
Solfatara and Cratere degli Astroni
The last active crater of the Campi Flegrei is the
Solfatara, where
it's
still possible to see some
volcanic activity as gas emissions
and gives an idea of how Campi Flegrei were in the past when volcanic
activities were much more present in the area ( crater of Agnano
and Lake of Averno). Astroni's Crater is another dead crater with
a wonderful vegetation that made it a hunting area for the Kings
od Borboni Family. Today the reserve is under the protection and
management of WWF.
