Kemerhisar - Ulukışla

The character of the Route:

The route, which sets out from the ancient city of Tyana, which bears the traces of the cultural adventure experienced in Anatolia, rises gently and glides towards the Silk Road through the hills caused by the volcanoes. At the 12th km, after passing the lavender gardens of Bereket village, it ascends and continues to climb until the 28th km. After this point, the route, which leads to Ulukışla, the transition point between the mountains with a slight descent, ends at Ulukışla Train Station, which many heroes defended at the cost of their lives during the War of Independence.
