PEAT BOGS IN THE HIGH VOSGES

     In South Vosges, lots of peat bogs take up old glaciated valleys uphill from constrictions from ice era.
    The mountains' crystalline nature, and also the rain falling profusely on the western slope of the peaks' line, furthered acid lakes appearance which were gradually colonized, and filled by sphagnum moss, and then by different other plants.
     The peat bogs are part of some of the most beautiful Vosgean landscapes...
