Aeolian Islands - Stromboli the Fiery
An excellent observation point for the nightly Magic Fire and volcano observation on the active volcano of Stromboli is the Trattoria at the old Naval Station Punta Labronzo (about 30 minutes' walk of Stromboli's district of San Bartolo away).
Here startss the trail to 926 m high Stromboli summit. For the climb in the late afternoon 3 to 4 hours should be taken into account.
Clouds, fog and wind blowing the volcanic gases to the viewpoints, the summit region can turn into a toxic witch's kitchen within minutes.
Every 20 minutes to 1 hour the Stromboli volcano pushes as a grandiose spectacle a fountain of fire into the starry night sky. Making him to one of the most active and most dangerous volcanoes in the world. Since a few years, therefore, the ascent over 400 m without a mountain guide is strictly prohibited. The GPS track shows various ways of climbing up and down.
The volcanic island of Stromboli became famous by the identically named movie by Italian producer Roberto Rossellini in 1949 with Ingrid Bergman in the leading role. Offshore Stromboli rises a bizarre rock out of the sea - Strombolicchio a small islet on which only a lighthouse is located. |
