Cappadocia & Bolkar

With its unique geological formations, Cappadocia is incontestably one of the most remarkable natural phenomena on this planet. During millions of years wind, rain and frost, has eroded the tuff (volcanic rock) and formed the most amazing patterns. By traversing this landscape on foot you will appreciate the country’s historical richness as well as its unusual landscape.

Second important massif of the Taurus range, made of sedimentary material, such as limestone and dolomites, Mt. Bolkar exhibits very particular geological characteristics. Since centuries, on its flanks, vast meadows and pastures are used as summer homes by whole villages and flocks during the summer grazing periods.

This circuit, with an easy level accessible to everyone, will permit you to fully appreciate your excursion in fantastic landscapes of alpine plains while sharing the sedentary life style of the semi nomads.
