(1)
Haldizen Plateau is a beautiful high-altitude area near Uzungol, known for its fresh mountain air, wide green landscapes, and peaceful atmosphere. It is an ideal destination for travelers who want to escape busy areas and enjoy untouched nature in the Black Sea region.

What to See & Do

  • 🏔️ Enjoy cool mountain weather 🌬️ and the purest fresh air at over 2,000 meters ☁️
  • 📸 Engage in photography of highland landscapes 🖼️ including grazing herds and wildflowers 🌸
  • 🥾 Take short walks 👣 to the nearby glacial lakes for a refreshing (and chilly!) experience ❄️
  • 🏠 Experience traditional highland life 🥛 by meeting local shepherds and tasting fresh butter 🧀

How to Get There

  • 🚗 Drive about 45 minutes from Uzungöl center 🚙 via a scenic but winding mountain road 🛣️
  • 🚙 Use a 4×4 vehicle 🚜—while the road is improved, a high-clearance car is highly recommended for safety 🏁
  • 🚕 Hire a local driver or taxi 🚕 from Uzungöl who is experienced with the steep mountain terrain 📍
  • 🚐 Join a highland tour 🚐 departing from Trabzon or Uzungöl for a hassle-free group trip 🧭

Travel Tips

  • 🧥 Bring warm clothing 🧣—temperatures can be 10-15 degrees lower than at the coast, even in July ❄️
  • 📡 Check weather conditions 🌦️ before departing; fog can reduce visibility to near zero in minutes 🌫️
  • 🎒 Carry food and water 🧴 as there are limited shops or restaurants at this altitude 🥪
  • 🔋 Charge your batteries 🔋—the cold air and constant photography will drain your devices quickly 📱
