Its story

İğneada Longoz Forests National Park was declared in 2007 and covers an area of about 3,155 hectares. Alluvium carried by streams coming down from the Yıldız Mountains formed ash, alder and oak forests that lie underwater in the rainy seasons. Erikli Lake to the north, Mert and Saka lakes to the south and the dunes stretching along the coast are part of the same ecosystem. Walking paths and canoe routes let you enter the longoz (floodplain forest).
