Two strato Conservation, Bitlis, Lake - volcano of Turkey, the Nemrut (2.948 meters) and Süphan (4.058 meters) mountains, are located Van. in this area. The southern part of the area consists of metamorphic rocks meters, which are the oldest strata of Turkey. The biggest soda lake of the World, Lake Van, consist the eastern side, of the geopark area. Ophiolitic rocks also exist in this area, representing the remnant of the ancient Neo - Tethys ocean. Total 44 geosite were proposed and determined in the geopark area, most of them are located on five proposed geo - routes. These proposed geosites and several cultural heritage elements are amalgamated within the scope of the geopark management system. This plan also includes the geo - conservation table of these proposed geosites. This area is ready for announcing as a second “International Geopark” (UNESCO) of Turkey in terms of unique geodiversity, cultural Received Date 15.06.2020 heritages, bio - diversity and different kinds of summer and winter outdoor activity potential, in the Accepted Date: 05.01.2021 light of the performed inventory studies. 1. Introduction within the same volcanic system. Further to the north, Turkey's third highest peak (4.058 m) is located as the During field considering, the main concept of Süphan Stratovolcano. It also has characteristic recent the geopark was determined by first considering the lake sedimentary formations in its northern areas. The geodiversity of it. The main concept of Nemrut - Lake Van, which limits the geopark from east, is a Süphan geopark is "volcanic geopark". However, "geological heritage" subject on its own, with recent there are also very valuable formations representing stramatolite formations at the bottom. magmatic - metamorphic processes and oceanic crust in this geopark which lies on one of the oldest In addition to this rich geodiversity, the region has massives of Turkey from south. In northern areas, a very rich accumulation in terms of cultural assets Nemrut caldera is obsreved, which is the best (archeology, ethnography, gastronomy, history) and preserved calderas of Turkey and still holds the the inventory studies carried out by different people status of "National Park" and products of volcanic and institutions over time on these cultural values have flow - eruption - pyroclastic fall deposits around it been combined in a suitable format and processed on (Figure 1). The youngest lava flows in Turkey are also the geopark map. The geopark area also has a wide Citation Info: Çiftçi, Y., Güngör, Y. 2021.

All of the periodic outdoor on outdoor sports has been carried out and processed activities and nature promotion activities organized on the geopark map. in accordance with scientific, social and economic purposes are included in this wide group.
