Demirkazık – Arpalık – Tekepınarı – Dipsiz Lake

The character of the Route:

Starting from the mountaineer-friendly village of Demirkazık, the route takes you into an adventure that is as challenging as fun. The track, which climbs towards the fountain on Arpalık Plateau at 6 km, passes through the gate at 8,6 km and reaches the other water source, Teke Pınarı. The route, which passes Teke Pınarı and continues climbing steadily, ends at its companion Dipsiz Göl, at an altitude of 2940m, right next to the Mevsimlik Lake, which dries up in the summer months.

Notes to Travelers:
 

• You can refresh your water at the fountain in Arpalık Plateau.
• You can camp at the Oba Yeri campsite at 12km and around Dipsiz Lake.
• Especially if you live at sea level, you must acclimate your body (accommodating the body to that altitude for climbing after a certain height). For this, you can camp at the route's starting point for one night before starting the climb, stay in the hostels in Demirkazık village, and camp.
• Do not forget to take enough water and light food to give energy.
• Make sure your phone is fully charged before starting the route.
• Do not neglect to drink water from time to time while driving.
