Crater lakes are not the lakes we generally see since these types are very few nearby the world. In Italy however, there is one crater lake that can be found in the heart of the city and is called the Bolsena Lake. This lake is distinctly dissimilar given it was formed when a obvious volcano named the Vulsini some 370,000 years ago, exploded. This violent and phenomenal explosion caused Vulsini's volcanic crater to collapse which lead to the formation of this crater lake.
Vulsini was once an active volcano but after it had erupted massively sometime in 104 Bc, it became inactive. Advent up to Bolsena Lake to see this gorgeous one-of-a- kind lake is well safe so you can relax and enjoy the feel while being here. Bolsena Lake is shaped in an oval way similar to all existing volcanic lakes and its area covers 100km2.

Bolsena Lake is a key tourist spot in Italy and the largest lake as well. It is very celebrated for having well clean and unspoiled waters and the shores are awesome sights. The place is a exquisite ground for its successful fishing community. Establishments that promote nature tourism are set up nearby the lake for tourists to enjoy. These areas typically endorse the country's agritourism where tourists can have picnics and do camping.
Since the Vulsini volcano already existed centuries ago with its magnificent Bolsena Lake, this place is heralded of historical value. When the Romans conquered the Etruscans, they named the lake Lacus Volsinii where the name originally was derived from Velzna, the last Etruscan city that Romans overpowered.
Estruscan traditions are richly practiced in the communities of Bolsena Lake up to these days in respect and commemoration of its roots. There is a singular old town in the area celebrated for having the Monaldeschi castle, a towering buildings reminiscent of the place's rich past. Tourists flocking the Bolsena Lake go up to this castle to have a view from above to seek the lake's beauty and medieval sights of the town.
The Bolsena Lake apart from its landscape that are very much spellbinding has two spellbinding islands namely Bisentina and Martana which are good tourist areas. Bisentina is the largest island in the rest of Italy and is found within the lake. Vulsini volcano's eruptions underwater and collapse of its crater, typify the formation of the island. Martana, the other haven of an island, is known for safekeeping the relics of St. Christine which had, a time, guarded them from the barbarians. Nowadays however, tourists are no longer allowed to walk nearby the island since the place has come to be private.
Holidays are best spent in the areas of Bolsena Lake. For a fun family time together, you can never go wrong in this place. Nature tripping, fishing and camping, are just a few things to do here especially when you are nearby the lakeside.
