We will walk on the 2002 lava flow, the one that destroyed the square, after a few hundred meters we will see the remains of an old hotel 'Le Betulle' also destroyed by the eruption. We will continue through a magnificent forest of Etna birch trees. From the forest we will continue to climb passing through a lava channel a few dozen meters wide, to then climb to the edge of the last 4 majestic inactive craters of 2002.
