Itinerary
🏞️ Day 1 — Discovering the Bottomless Lakes
Begin your journey into the Central Taurus Mountains, where karst lakes shimmer quietly beneath limestone ridges. The trail winds through cedar-scented forests toward the 530-meter-high Bottomless Lake, just 2.5 km from the city forest. Bring your lens — this place is rich with birdsong and moments that beg to be caught in a frame.
You’ll stop for a picnic or campsite by the shore, under a sky powdered with stars. As the fire crackles, hear old tales whispered about the lake’s dark depths. Let the silence settle in your bones. Let the earth welcome you.
🌄 Day 2 — Peaks and Valleys Exploration
Wake with the sun and move deeper into the highlands. Today’s path takes you through flower-strewn valleys, where goats graze and eagles circle above. Then, feel your pulse rise at Demirkazık Peak — a climber’s dream with nearly 300 vertical lines for all levels.
For the bold, take to the sky with optional paragliding over Emli Valley — an elemental thrill that lifts your spirit into silence. Later, wander toward Akgöl and the Yedigöller glacial basin, where meltwater lakes mirror the sky.
End the day slowed by awe, your body tired but soul full.
