A high mountain route to cirque lakes left from the last ice age, just below the summit of Uludağ.

Safety warning

This is a long mountain route with limited waymarking; be prepared for fog and sudden storms, do not hike alone, and tell someone your route.

Its story

South of Uludağ's summit ridge lie small lakes formed in basins carved by glaciers. Aynalıgöl and Kilimligöl are the best known of these. The lakes are reached on a hike that starts from the hotel area and follows the old tungsten mine road. Patches of snow may remain around them until midsummer, and wildflowers bloom in June. As the route is long and high, it suits experienced hikers; mountaineers use the lakes as a campsite on the way to the summit.
