“Le Biancane” Geothermal Park

Le Biancane, a term used in Tuscany to define vast areas of white-coloured rocks, is a natural park in the municipality of Monterotondo where geothermal fluids with temperatures exceeding 100° reach the surface, giving rise to numerous clouds of geothermal steam. In this area, at the beginning of the 19th century, boric acid was extracted from the thermal spring waters. To reach the Park, at Monterotondo continue to the village of Lagoni and follow the signs for “Parco delle Biancane”.
