Its story

Its surroundings are covered with pine forests, and from here roads branch off to Gümüşhane via Yağmurdere and to Bayburt via Aydıntepe. The highland was declared a tourism center in 1991, a status removed in 2021; nevertheless, it remains one of the most visited highlands in Trabzon's interior in the summer months. It is recorded that there is a Pazarcık Cave at the entrance to the highland.
