Kırıkkale - Karakeçili - Çeşnigir Bridge

The character of the Route:

This lively route, starting from Kırıkkale city center, explores the surprise-filled geography of Anatolia. At the 21st km, it gets closer to Kapulukaya Dam and stops by the lavender garden that gives magnificent photographs. The track following Kızılırmak passes through Karakeçili Village, a nomadic village founded in the 16th century with the initiative of the Ottoman Palace, to ensure the safety of the caravans passing through the Çeşnigir Bridge. Reaching its highest point at 37.5km, the route ends by completing the descent to the Ottoman Bridge "Çeşnigir", built on the slopes of the 5000-year-old Hittite city Büklükale.
