Walking in the Clouds
The mist that drifts around the foothills of the Kaçkar Mountains makes you feel as if you are walking in the sky. With every step you take, you are left alone with the silent and enchanting side of nature.
The highlands of Rize are one of the places on earth that come closest to the sky. Pokut, Sal, Gito, Badara... Each one is like a gateway to another world.
The Infinity of
the Highlands
A magical atmosphere in the Black Sea nature
Rize/Turkey
Rize offers a unique view in every frame with its wooden houses emerging from the fog, valleys filled with a sea of clouds, and colourful mountain flowers.
At the highest point of the valley, Zil Castle stands as if built on top of the clouds, like a mysterious guardian with history carved into its stones.
Muhlama, cornbread, black cabbage rolls and Laz pastry… Rize cuisine offers a feast of simple but powerful flavours.
The lakes formed by glaciers in Rize offer visitors a natural wonder with their clear waters and rich vegetation. With their cool, clean air and peaceful atmosphere, these lakes are an indispensable destination for both nature walkers and photography enthusiasts. Especially in the summer months, the surroundings of these lakes, fed by melting glaciers, are adorned with lush green flowers, creating a breathtaking landscape.
The highlands of Rize, generally located at an altitude of 1,500 to 2,500 metres, attract nature lovers with their lush green meadows, dense forests and clear streams. One of the most famous highlands, Anzer Highland, is known for its world-renowned Anzer honey, while Pokut Highland and Sal Highland stand out for their postcard-perfect landscapes and unique natural environments. These highlands offer excellent opportunities for activities such as nature walks, photography, and camping.
Rize’nin en gözde yaylalarından biri olan Pokut Yaylası, Kaçkar Dağları’nın eteklerinde, yaklaşık 2200 metre yükseklikte yer alan eşsiz bir doğa harikasıdır. Hem doğal güzellikleri hem de tarihi ahşap evleriyle ünlü olan Pokut, Karadeniz’in yeşil ve serin atmosferini doyasıya yaşamak isteyenler için mükemmel bir kaçamak noktasıdır.
🌿 Nature at its Greenest
Rize has hundreds of shades of green. Forests, tea gardens, moss-covered rocks and misty slopes... Nature here is like a living painting.
Located in Turkey’s Black Sea region, Rize is a unique city that captivates visitors with its natural beauty, culture and historical riches. Known as one of Turkey’s greenest provinces, Rize is a true paradise for nature lovers, with its lush meadows, high mountains, glaciers, lakes formed by the melting of unique glaciers, and unique flora and fauna.
Rize is particularly famous for the Kaçkar Mountains National Park. The Kaçkar Mountains, Turkey’s highest and most rugged mountain range, offer ideal routes for mountaineering, trekking, and nature walks. The plateaus in this region are havens of peace and discovery for nature lovers. The Anzer, Pokut, Sal, and Ayder highlands are not only notable for their natural beauty but also for their settlements that preserve local culture and traditions.
The glaciers and glacial lakes in the higher elevations of Rize showcase the region’s geological richness. These lakes offer unique vistas for those seeking to witness nature’s pure and untouched beauty.
Rize has a typical Black Sea climate, with abundant rainfall, cool temperatures and high humidity. This climate keeps the region green and enables the cultivation of some of the world’s finest teas. Tea cultivation is at the heart of Rize’s economic and cultural life. The world-renowned Rize tea is the most important agricultural product grown here and forms the backbone of the regional economy.
