MOHOȘ PEAT BOG

Mohos Peat Bog is actually the twin of the Saint Ana crater, and this one is also filled with water. Tens of thousands of years ago, the two volcanoes used to erupt simultaneously. During the last eruption of Saint Ana’s volcano, the released ash settled on the lake formed at Mohos. Part of the ash sunk in the lake, and another part settled on its surface, leading to the formation of a special type of moss. The ultimate result was the formation of a unique moor, with a vegetation similar to that of the Syberian tundra. You’ll be enchanted if you choose to explore the unique and fantastic world of the Mohos Peat Bog, where you’ll be able to see plants that are considered rarities of vegetation.
