Visiting the volcano

It is possible to climb the volcano, you need a guide and three hours of your time in order to do so. This way you get to see the crater from a distance of 250, thats quite close, and you get a fantastic view, if there is an eruption. Particularly impressive is seeing the eruptions at night. If you don´t like this strenuous exercise, than you can book one of the boat tour, from the seaside you can watch the spectale relaxed with a drink in your hand.

Very good pictures of eruptions you find on the internetsite www.educeth.ch. There are a lot of information about stromboli as well.
