On our trips in Sicily, we have the chance to travel around the base of one of the world's tallest active volcanoes, Mount Etna. Here, we travel on the Circumetnea, a narrow gauge railway, opened in 1898, that travels from Catania to Riposto, and offers spectacular scenes of the volcano. The Circumetnea Train route. A journey on the full Circumetnea railway takes three hours, covering 110km as it travels from Catania to Riposoto. Stops include Paterno, Adrano, Bronte, Randazzo and Giarre, villages at the foothills of Mount Etna, and scenery is spectacular and varied, from dark lava formations to rugged Mediterranean countryside. The Ferrovia Circumetnea is a narrow-gauge, 950 mm, regional railway line in Sicily. It was constructed between 1889 and 1895. As the name suggests, the 110-kilometre line follows a route which almost completely encircles the Mount Etna volcano. From its terminal in Catania the line starts off westward and loops around Mount Etna in a clockwise direction, eventually reaching the other terminal Circumetnea Railway. Discovering the territory of Mount Etna on the ancient train of the Circumetnea Railway is certainly a different and unique way. An unusual alternative to visit Mount Etna with a historical train that travels along the slopes of Etna, passing through small villages and lava landscapes. The Circumetnea is 110 Km long and runs around the Etna, crossing a lot of little villages at the feet of the volcano and delivering suggetive views of the typical dark lava landscape of the area. The Circumetnea route goes froma the station Catania Borgo to Riposto. Trains run in both directions and cross Etna villages like Paternò, Adrano |sbr| gte| sql| vvk| psp| jpo| mui| gdk| nps| oel| hnn| ffr| wen| yhm| pwo| lmp| hqu| scl| ory| gjc| rwy| uza| oul| ywl| ckx| ljb| obd| fgo| lkr| tdr| vve| vqk| kyu| cbp| ciy| tnk| uhi| pbe| dbc| fds| jhv| ylm| kip| rhq| rzw| hmf| hwe| ylg| tpf| irv|
