Przyroda i krajobrazy w Trabzonie

Nature & Landscapes

Trabzon’s landscape is defined by the dramatic meeting of the Pontic Mountains and the Black Sea. This selection features the iconic Uzungöl, an alpine lake nestled in a steep valley, and Sera Gölü, formed by a mid-20th-century landslide. Urban green spaces like Zaganos Valley Park showcase modern landscape architecture beneath Byzantine-era walls, while high peaks such as Akdağ and Polot provide panoramic views of the rugged highland pastures known locally as yaylas.
