Mud volcanoes are a rare geological formation. The terrain of the Taman Peninsula is rich in such formations, there are about a dozen of them here. Some of them are equipped for tourist visits for a fee, but there are also those that can be visited independently, and, in our opinion, they are even more interesting.
However, do not expect that you will see fountains of mud bursting out of the mouth. Although these formations do have a structure similar to Real lava volcanoes, in fact, most of them are Hills, on top of which volcanic mud flows out of the "vent" in a small stream. On some volcanoes, there may be several outflow sites, and some are in a "dormant" state, and may not spew anything at all when visiting. By the way, this mud is considered curative, and some volcanoes even equipped mud baths.
