Its story
Sarıalan is a group of highland pastures consisting of fourteen highlands around it, on the road to the Kartalkaya Ski Center southeast of Bolu. The highlands, where villagers go up with their animals in the summer months, are surrounded by pine and fir forests on the slopes of the Köroğlu Mountains. They have flat areas suitable for camping, picnics and nature walks. The pond on the edge of the Saraycık Highland is the group's most photographed spot; this record point has also been placed on the shore of the pond. In early spring, as the snow recedes, purple crocuses bloom on the highlands. The area is within the 2nd development zone of the Köroğlu Tourism Area; in winter the road may be covered with snow as far as Kartalkaya.
