The Mohos Bog

Due to the existence of some rare floral species, the bog has been declared to be a natural monument. It is situated in the south-eastern part of the Csomad volcanic mountain, in the Mohos carter, which is the twin to the crater of the Saint Anna Lake. The bog has a surface of 80 hectares and it is situated at an altitude of 1050 m above sea level, 100 meters higher than the level of the lake. The thickness of the moor is of 10 metres and a volume of 3 million cubic measures.

The bog is famous for the rare plants which you can find here. On the bark carpet you can find bushes of Andromeda polifolia, of cranberries (Vaccinium Axycoccos), three species of insectivore plants. The rare dwarf pines (Pinus silvestris) add to the picturesque environment.
