  • Ardahan-Brosur--Ingilizce-Sikistirildi
    ARDAHAN: REALM OF HIGH LANDS Ardahan, the realm of highlands, has a distinct geography that of- fers the glories of the past and treasures of the nature together. It is also an undiscovered tourism center with its steep mountains, up- lands covered with endemic flowers, glacial lakes on the foothills of majestic peaks, yellow pine forests, castles and towers, churches, mysterious border towns, and a cultural wealth that reflects the mo- saic of its diversity. Ardahan involves the borders with Georgia and Armenia in the north and northeast, with Kars and Erzurum in the south and southeast, and with Artvin in the west. Most significant elevations are Kısır, Keldağı, Akbaba, Cin, Ilgar, Ahaşen, Uğurlu and Yalnızçam Mountains. On the foothills of these high mountains are the uplands that huddle all kinds of colors within the nature into one place and emerge as orchards. Almost all of the villages in Ardahan have upland, and their dwellers migrate to these high- lands in company with their herds as of June. Certainly one of the most prominent rivers of Ardahan is Kura River. Posof, Karaçay, Değirmendere, Hanak, Kayınlıkdere, Türkmenderesi and Ölçek can be listed as the other local rivers with various sizes. Lake Çıldır, which is the tenth biggest lake in the country and second biggest lake of Eastern Anatolia Region in terms of acreage, and Aktaş river on Georgia border, are among the significant lakes of the province. HISTORY Ardahan region, which was used as a migration way from Caucasus to Anatolia, has a rich historical and cultural background. Especially the castles and towers laying on or nearby deep, long and succes- sive valleys created by Kura River are among the most significant details that convey the traces of the past to present.
