EVERY SEASON IS A DIFFERENT COLOR
Turning into a different color in each of the seasons and embracing the visitors with its air, water and nature, Küre Mountains National Park is one of the prominent places to be visited in our country.
Having been selected as one of the priority areas for protection in European Forests by WWF in 1998, Küre Mountains was declared as National Park in 2000. With this decision, it was accepted as 'Turkey's Gift to the World', within the framework of 'Living Planet Campaign' launched by WWF at the dawn of the third Millennium.
A NATIONAL PARK REMINDING OF A NATURE MUSEUM
The national park which fascinates its visitors with all its hospitality resembles at the same time a nature museum with its biodiversity. The area in which deer, roe deer and Passeriformes adopt it as home is also considered as one of the most important eco-tourism centers of our country.
For instance, with its hidden form in the Küre Mountains, Valla Canyon, the second deepest canyon in the world, hosts hundreds of guests every day. The canyon, where two trails are available for the nature lovers keen on rafting, manages to enter thousands of photo frames as if it smilingly poses for the cameras with its perfect view.
