Its story
Acıgöl (Çardak Gölü) is a saline tectonic lake on the Denizli–Afyonkarahisar border whose deepest point does not reach 2 meters. Its surface area varies greatly with the season; it expands in spring and shrinks markedly by late summer. Its shallow, salty water forms a favorable feeding ground for flamingos, and about 200 bird species are reported to have been recorded at the lake. The lake is protected as a Class B Wetland. The observation point is on the Denizli side of the lake, on its southern shore within Çardak district.
