Description
Mont Bar is unique in Europe, it is indeed the only volcano of the Strombolian type which shelters a peat bog in its crater. The formation of this one was favored by the digging of a drain in 1821 to drain the lake which was then in its crater. Accompaniment possible for a commented discovery of the Mont Bar site.
