Bokke
Bokke is a general term for mud volcanoes.The bokke area is located 10 minutes on foot from the Akankohan Eco-museum Center. Together with volcanic gases, gray mud from underground continuously builds up and erupts. They are recognizable not only by their appearance but also by their burbling sound and sulfur smell. The constant geothermal activity in these spots even prevents snow from accumulating during winter.
Skunk cabbage
Every year from late April to mid-May, the white flowers of the skunk cabbage bloom in the wetlands behind the Akankohan Visitor Center, heralding the arrival of spring.
