    This is a good place to take a break, while you can watch the bubbling. Depending on how sensitive you are or how the wind is blowing, you can smell the sulphurous odor of the spring.

      "A mofette is the exit point of carbon dioxide (CO2) with temperatures below 100 ° C. It is thus a subspecies of fumaroles [1] and is regarded as a by-product of volcanism. [2]

      The name mofette is derived from the Italian word mofeta, which comes from the Latin mefitis or mephitis. It means something like "harmful exhalation".

      In addition to carbon dioxide, mofettes can also contain methane and hydrogen sulfide, and in some cases helium and other noble gases. You can chemically alter the surrounding rock to disturbances. Hydrogen sulfide content causes a smell of rotten eggs. "

        In the Soos mineral moor area, mofettes can be observed in many places, natural carbon dioxide degassing that occurs both under water and in the dry. The increased carbon dioxide outgassing is related to young volcanism and is linked to heavily tectonically stressed areas. Here they lie in the intersection of the Eger ditch with the Cheb-Domázlice ditch. The gas rises in funnels of mud. A mofette is the exit point of carbon dioxide from the ground with temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. It is thus a subspecies of the fumarole and is regarded as a side effect of volcanism. The term is derived from Latin and means "harmful exhalation".
