Trekking in Sülüklügöl National Park

✪ Free Cancellation for up to 72 Hours

Course

Sülüklügöl is a natural park located near Akyokuşkavağı Village (Bolu, Mudurnu) around Dokurcun in Akyazı, Adapazarı. It is 3 hours away from İstanbul.

There is a soil road of 9 km followed by the entrance of Sülüklügöl Natural Conservation Area until the lake. There is a track of nearly 16 km long in total. On the soil road and sometimes within the forest, we will climb up to 1200 m from 800 m with our guides.

Sülüklügöl is a 1200-m set lake. It was formed three centuries ago as a result of a landslide. You can see abies and oak trees in the lake. Its name is Sülüklügöl, but local people haven't seen any leeches since they have trout in the lake. We will walk around the lake and enjoy the lake and the nature.

We will prepare and eat our soudjouk sandwiches by the lake and start walking to return. Thanks to our professional nature guides in the route, we can walk on alternative routes as well...
