Its story
Çakırgöl is a glacial lake in high mountainous terrain within the boundaries of the village of Çorak, about 50 km from central Gümüşhane. According to news reports, it is at an altitude of about 2,553 meters and surrounded by steep cliffs. It is notable for its clear water and the snow cover that remains on the slopes until midsummer; even at the end of June patches of snow can be seen around it. A ski center project for winter tourism is also on the agenda in the area. The lake is a goal for hikers and nature photographers and can be visited together with the Taşköprü Highland and the Santa area.
