Its story
The Pokut Highland is about 15 km south of Çamlıhemşin, on the ridge between the valleys formed by the Fırtına Deresi and the Hala Deresi, at an altitude of about 2,030 m. It is reached by car from Çamlıhemşin in 1.5–2 hours on average. The highland houses, built on stone foundations with wood and traditional roofs, are among the most photographed examples of Hemşin highland architecture. The highland's real fame comes from the view of the sea of fog formed below the ridge by clouds rising from the valleys. In the summer months it is a favorite stop for hikers and photographers.
