Description

It is a small trail starting from Casa del Vescovo, where a small hut available for hikers is located. The route passes through a series of caves (sinkholes) about fifteen metres deep, which, in the past, were used as snow depots. Further along the path are small stretches of poplar woods alternating with lava flows, until it reaches Monte Serra Pizzuta Galvarina (1704 m a.s.l.). Its path allows reaching the crater edge, which can be partially crossed on the left up to a stone cottage offering a beautiful and suggestive panorama. Going back up it is possible to go deeper inside the eruptive system to its base, and then go back along the western side.
