- Abstract
The southeastern Carpathian peat bogs are a widespread habitat in the subalpine floor of the Făgăraș Mountains. They are found in the area of glacial lakes and on valleys and slopes near the streams. On the smooth plateau with excess moisture of the Valea Rea there is a peat bog on an area of about 1 ha. Located at the base of the Viștea Mare and Moldoveanu peaks, the Valea Rea Bucket, modulated by glaciers that dug into the rock of the mountain, sheltered a plateau on which the place of gravel is taken by a swamp area with the appearance of a small delta, with an area of about one kilometer square and several small lakes and islands of vegetation. On the left, the Valea Rea Bucket is guarded by the Galbena Mountain and Roșu Peak (2465 m), on the right by the Valea Rea Edge and in front by the Viştea Mare (2527 m) and Moldoveanu (2544) massive, Moldoveanu being the highest peak in the country. Under the Moldoveanu peak there is a large lake, the Triangular Lake of Moldoveanu, which received this name due to its shape. Located at 2159 m altitude, it is located at the top of the glacial bucket and is fed by underground springs. From the Triangular Lake of Moldoveanu (Iezerul Moldoveanu) the water flows through the Budurile Văii Rele, in the most spectacular waterfalls in this area, to the Valea Rea stream, the main tributary of the Doamnei River.
