About Uzungol

Connected with Trabzon County and around 100km from Trabzon city centre, Uzungöl is a forested highland plateau known for its ecotourism. Uzungöl takes its name from the shores of the lake where it was founded.

Uzungöl stays green all year round with high amounts of snowfall in the winter and substantial rainfall in the summer. This well-watered environment is one of the most important reasons for the high plant-diversity in this region. The diversity of wildlife is also quite high in Uzungöl. Almost 60 types of mammal species and 250 types of bird species have been observed here. Uzungöl is under protection as a national park for this reason. Despite this, however, landscape constructions have taken place in recent years, and even more have been planned. This has led to a public outcry since such constructions have the potential to ruin the balanced ecosystem of the region.

Camping sites, bike trails and hiking tracks can be found in Uzungöl. It also offers an excellent environment for bird watching. There are highland festivities planned every year in the beginning of August. These last for three to four days, and during this time Uzungöl becomes host to various tournaments, traditional dances, concerts, and other fun activities. Trout is the most valued delicacy in Uzungöl and is on the list of tastes that must be tried by visitors.

Trabzon Airport is the nearest airport to Uzungöl, and it’s possible to reach Trabzon city centre from the airport in just 10 minutes. From here you can easily reach Uzungöl with buses, rental cars, and taxis.
