Aetna, Information and images
- Here you can find out how to save 60 EUR per person to reach the Torre del Filosofo (subcrater of Etna).. In addition, one can ascend to the main crater with high mountain experience.. <9> <9> Starting point: Parking at N37.. 699594 E15.. 000339. There you can stand for 10 EUR per day with the camper.. At night (from 18 o´clock) it is free.. <9> <9> Normally you take the cable car up 600m up to 2500m, then take a crowded bus to about 2900m and then go with about 100 other people and a mountain guide about 100 m to the Torre del Filosofo.. The mountain guide is completely nonsensical, since the trails are well-trodden paths.. Nevertheless, he is duty.. All this together costs about 60 EUR and is very disappointing because the (secondary) crater is not very active.. If anything, he smokes a little.. <9> <9> The 60 EUR can be saved with a hike.. <9> Anyone who is reasonably fit can walk up the road or down the ski slope to the mountain station.. That takes about 1h 30 min.. At the top you walk comfortably on a road, or, if you do not want to breathe the dust of the buses, across the country on gravel and gravel to the Torre del Filosofo (good visibility provided).. That takes about 1-1.. 5 h.. <9> After that you stay a bit off the mountain guides and continue towards the main crater.. But the road has left, so you can find it.. Achtun From here it is officially forbidden to continue and it is to expect high alpine terrain with all the dangers that exist in our Alps.. At the crater you have the additional dangers of the volcano.. <9> After about 2 hours you are at the top of the crater and look 300m deep.. Everything smokes and smokes up there, the ground is hot.. If you are lucky, you can see lava 300 meters below.. It is a unique experience, you are right on the active volcano.. <9> The way back is the same as the way there.
1677690 - The Etna National Park in Sicily was built in March 1987. <9> It is important to protect this unique volcano and its natural environment, because not only that the Etna is still an active volcano, which provides for constant more or less strong lava flows , no, he also effectively prevented any plant growth in these same current directions, especially at higher altitudes, creating a unique landscape.. <9> <9> <993> <994/1239738> <994/1339999> <994/1340000> <994/1339997> <9> <9> <993> The park has been divided into different sections, each with its own characteristics have: <9> <9> <993> Section A comprises 19 000 hectares in the public domain, without any human settlements, but with territories of birds, e.g.. B. golden eagle.. <9> <9> <993> Section B covers 26,000 hectares, where you will find smaller farms, as well as houses (including older and newer representative buildings) and protected areas for animals and plants (palms) <9> <9> <993> Sections C and D cover approximately 14,000 hectares, probably not yet decided on by tourist development.. <9> Special requirements for ecology have to be fulfilled.. <9> <9> <994/19173> <994/19174> <994/1277011> <994/1216228> <9> <9> <993> The fertile lava soil around the volcano allows for a rich cultivation of wine , Olives, pistachios, hazelnut, fruits and vegetables <9> <9> <994/19169> <994/19170> <994/19171> <994/19172> <9> <9> <993> The vegetation of Etna Park is determined by a number of factors.. On the one hand there are the lava piles, whose substrates are constantly changing due to the constant flow of lava, on the other hand changing temperatures, rainfall and of course the different altitude levels.. <9> <9> <993> The lower areas to the coast offer room for vineyards, nut growing areas as well as orchards.. <9> Above the cultivation zone grow black pine, oak and chestnut forests.. From about 2000m altitude, the flora then changes more in beech and birch forests, and then even higher in lava fields with the growth of spiny tragacanth end <9> <9> <994/1339998> <994/1277008> <994/1277009> < 994/1277010> <9>
