Vulcanii Noroiosi (Muddy Volcanoes), Berca, Romania Muddy Vulcanoes is a geological and botanical reservation located in Buzău County in Romania.
Its most spectacular feature is the mud volcanoes, small volcano-shaped structures typically a few metres high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases.
As the gases erupt from 3000 metres deep towards the surface, through the underground layers of clayand water, they push up underground salty water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles. The mud dries off at the surface, creating a relatively solid conical structure resembling a real volcano. The mud expelled by them is cold, as it comes from inside the Earth's continental crust layers, and not from the mantle. 300 minutes

The salt mine was unbelievable. Well worth the time it took to get there. Victor our guide was on time, had a very nice SUV and was very professional. It was a very nice day.

An excellent visit to the muddy volcanoes, east of the underground salt mine! The landscape is phenomenal, like you are on the moon, where there were numerous circular shaped craters with bubbling soft warm mud!
