Trou aux Cerfs
Trou aux Cerfs, also known as Murr's Volcano, is a dormant volcanic crater situated 605 metres above sea level in Curepipe, in the central highlands of Mauritius. Measuring approximately 350 metres in diameter and 80 metres deep, the crater features steep, pine-forested slopes encircling a marshy lake at its floor. While popular among joggers, tourists, and nature enthusiasts for its panoramic views of the island, Trou aux Cerfs possesses a shadowy reputation in local Mauritian folklore. Long associated with mysterious vanishings, unnatural mist formations, disembodied cries emerging from the crater floor, and Creole spirit legends, the crater is widely regarded as a focal point for highland paranormal activity.
