Muddy Volcanoes - Paclele Mari

Pâclele Mari is the best known and most visited mud volcano site in Buzău, even if it not as spectacular as the platou of Pacele Mici. Situated in the municipality of Scorțoasa (near Berca), this arid plateau of about 22 hectares hosts numerous active and inactive mud cones. Pâclele Mari is home to the largest mud volcano in Europe – a main “shield volcano” cone, surrounded by many smaller cones.
