It is dominated by imposing rocks, which have no less effective name Shaitan Rocks. In the evening we have to put down our tents and descend another 500m to the popular Dilberdüzu campsite. We will have to be extremely accurate and cautious on the rocks.ĭescending to our tent camp by Lake Deniz, we refuel with calories and rest, sharing our impressions from the climb. We will enjoy the scenery, mark the highest point of our route with a vertex chocolate bar and start descending to the camp. If we are lucky, we have a view for tens or even hundreds of kilometers around! We will most likely not be alone on the summit, as it is popular with tourists from all over the world. The route is not an easy one - there are a lot of scree, boulders, somewhere we have to climb with the help of hands.Īfter four hours of ascent among the rocks we finally reached the top. We have to pass one more small pass before the main ascent to the summit begins. We get up in the early morning, take only the most necessary things and with flashlights go to the top. Today we have to climb the highest point of Lazistan ridge - peak Kachkar (3937m). The altitude of the overnight stay will be about 2000 m.ĭifficult, but the most bright and significant day of the hike. We throw our backpacks on our backs and go on to the road to adventure! We go up a little bit up the picturesque and rocky gorge, and in a comfortable place we will put our camp, not far from the village of Kaleköy. Here begins the walking part of our route.
The masonry is very similar to the fortress Zilkale, but in general the walls of the structures are quite destroyed. The fortress was rebuilt and used during the Ottoman period. The buildings of the interior of the fortress date back to the sixth century AD, and the other walls were built by the Genoese in the early 14th century. It rises on a high rock at the head of the river Firtina Deresi. Here are the ruins of another ancient fortress Kale-i Bala. We drive up to the mountain village of Kale, which is located at an altitude of 1800m. A 10 years ago it was reconstructed.Īfter viewing the fortress we will continue our way up the gorge. On the way we stop to see the Zilkale fortress, built in the 14th century. The river has long been fancied by connoisseurs of extreme rafting. The road winds through deep rocky gorges and below roars the river Firtina Deresi, which means "rough, pouring water" in Turkish. There we transfer to a pre-booked minibus and drive into the mountains. We meet in the morning in Trabzon and travel by shuttle bus along the Black Sea coast to the village of Ardeshen.
