Bukowsko-Mosiński Esker GEOSITE

Title: Bukowsko-Mosiński Esker GEOSITE
Description: The escarpment is made of sand and gravel, sometimes covered with a thin layer of moraine clay, which indicates that this form was created in a subglacial tunnel. The areas adjacent to the esker are, in some places, filled with lake sediments (peats, gyttja). This situation, the appearance of the forms and the accessibility make it an attractive object in many respects.
