Safety warning
Its story
Soğuksu Nature Park was placed under protection in 2011 and is managed by the DKMP 13th Regional Directorate. The park, 3 km from Sarıkamış and about 53 km from Kars, covers an area of about 11 hectares at 2,121–2,152 m. Among the Scots pine forest growing on basalt and dolomite rocks are aspens, wild roses (rosehip) and buttercups. The short summer that follows long, snowy winters, with its cool air and the scent of pine, is suitable for picnics and short walks; thanks to its proximity to the ski center, it is also easily reached in winter.
