Unfortunately, the sand pit, which has been developed next to the swamp, disturbed the balance of water. This resulted in the swamp shrinking. Now you can find the remains of reeds and see large cracks in the ground. It is also possible to find peat in this ecosystem. Since 1984 Mohovatoe swamp has been protected by the state. If you suddenly intend to return the swamp to its original form, it is impossible, as rare and specific plants can’t be rehabilitated.
