Description
Enjoy the magical moments in the bog – admire the beauty of the sunrise! Let’s go to the world of cormorants to see the sunrise! Even though there are trees around, a morning in the bog is special!
In the middle of the last century, peat extraction was carried out in the Green Bog, but it was discovered that hydrogen sulphide mineral waters were forming beneath it, so peat extraction was stopped in 1960. When peat extraction stopped, water pumping from the peat pits also stopped and they filled with water. Despite the fact that peat extraction has stopped, drainage systems continue to affect the water regime of the bog. Cormorants have also made the bog their home, making their nests in the dead trees!
The emerald-green water of the bog, together with dead trees and cormorant nests, is the trademark of this bog and makes for a rather unique landscape and even a slightly apocalyptic feeling!
