Tinovul Mohoş is found in the eastern part of the Ciomatu Mare Massif, near the southern slope of Vârful Mohoş (1177 m), at an altitude of 1050 m. It has a circular shape with a diameter of 800 meters, an area of approximately 80 hectares and a depth of about 10 meters. Tinovul Mohoş is, in reality, an alpine peatland, but currently, of its entire surface covered with water, only 13 small lakes remain. The view is amazing, with pines curled into the peat layer and thick blueberry bushes.
The reserve is home to a number of rare species that have survived from the Quaternary era, including carnivorous plants such as round-leaved skydew (Drosera rotundifolia), oblong-leaved skydew (Drosera obovata), variegated peat moss (Drosera anglica) and sedge ( Vaccinium oxycoccos). Also, species that have survived from the Ice Age can be found here, such as the rust (Andromeda polifolia), the sedge (Empetrum nigrum) and the cottonwood (Eriophorum vaginatum).
