Salse di Regnano, Viano
Emilia-Romagna
Methane seeping up through saline clay builds a field of grey mud cones and pools near Regnano that bubble, occasionally spurt and slowly rebuild themselves — bigger and more active than the better-known Salse di Nirano. A short path and boardwalk let you watch from the edge.
