Red Fairylands

A Snapshot of the Earth's Formation...

Min: 10 Max: 15 Person
Difficulty
6 Day 5 Night

The red fairy chimneys, located within the borders of Narman and observed over an area of approximately 65 square kilometers, are found in only a few places in the world. The most beautiful examples are in Narman, where these red-colored magical staircases rise into the sky. They were formed 2.5 to 3 million years ago when materials eroded from other rocks in the region were transported by streams and accumulated in the Narman basin. The iron dissolved from the iron-rich rocks in the area also stained the basin red. Subsequently, over tens of thousands of years, these extraordinary natural wonders were sculpted first by water and then by wind erosion.

There are a total of 55 fairy chimneys worth seeing, spread across 7 large valleys. Each one stands out with a different feature: some resemble an alien, others a lion, and there is even one that looks like a Neanderthal man. This place can be described as a small Grand Canyon of Turkey. In addition to its natural beauty, it is also a place that stands out with its fauna and flora.

 

1. Day

After meeting our guests at Erzurum airport in the morning, we will have breakfast. After breakfast, we will first visit the Congress building and the Çifte Minareli Madrasa, one of the most important examples of Anatolian Seljuk period architecture and reflecting the historical richness of Erzurum. The madrasah, which has a courtyard, two floors and four iwan structure, covers an area of 38x48 m². It is claimed that the madrasah was built during the reign of Huvand (Huand) Hatun, the daughter of Alaaddin Keykubat I. For this reason, the building is also called Hatuniye Madrasah. It is thought that the madrasah was built between 1285-1290 during the Ilkhanid period. Then we will visit the Kumbets.

After visiting the Three Kumbets and Aziziye Bastions, we will go to Narman with our car.

2. Day

Narman Canyon - Yoldere Village Walk

Today we will walk in Narman Canyon.

We have breakfast early in the morning and set off. At the beginning of the fountain in Bulanik Creek, we make our walking preparations and first visit the Neanderthal man and lion head shapes, which are the most beautiful examples of nature's art in the valley. Our walk will continue on a dirt road that sees the Göndere Narman canyon from above in a red geography. We will first look from above at this extraordinary geography formed by the erosion of the geological material brought by the rivers about 3 million years ago. This walk, which will be more landscape-oriented, will be accompanied by different landscapes until Yoldere village. You will listen to geological stories from our guide at each stop point. At the entrance of Göndere valley, we will leave the road and descend into the valley from the path. During our walk in the valley, we will have the chance to closely examine the red landforms we see from above. Our walk will be interrupted by frequent photo breaks. We will take a break at the visitor centre at the entrance of the valley by examining the special formations in the small valleys in the valley. After the break, we will go to Yoldere village by car and witness the making of tandoori bread.

3. Day

After breakfast at our hotel early in the morning, we will move to Kilimli village by car. Today we will step into a volcanic world in the form of short walks by car. We will walk up through a valley and discover fairy chimneys formed in the volcanic rocks that turned the region into a ring of fire about 20 million years ago. Along the valley, if we pay attention, we will also see fossilised trees. At the end of the valley, after visiting the very old settlements known as "King's Daughter Caves" in the region, we will get on our car and go to Koçkaya village. From here we will walk along a magnificent geological section and collect plenty of gypsum minerals. We will listen to our guide about how the faults shaped the region, why the waters are bitter here and why Tuzla is here. We will get on our car from Tuzla and set off towards Oltu. If we are lucky, we will be able to see wild goats on the road.

Although the rainbow hills are not spread over a very large area, they offer extraordinary views. After listening to the reasons for this colouring from our guide, we will have a photo break.

4. Day

We will have breakfast early in the morning and set off. Our first stop is the Penek church, one of the rare hexagonal churches in the world, whose construction date goes back to the 7th century. After spending about 1 hour here, we will go to the Kiwi cave in Yıldızkaya village of Olur. The cave is not open for tourism. However, it is a magical cave which is easy to enter and visit and contains extraordinary cave deposits.

 

The Kiwi cave consists of a large hall and a small room with a ceiling about 40 metres high. There are extraordinary shapes inside the cave. Our guide will give detailed information about the formation of each shape. We will spend quite a lot of time photographing these shapes. After the tea break in the village, we will return to our hotel.

Belli noktalarda durup göl fotoğrafı çekeceğiz. Tortum gölü heyelan sonucunda oluşmuş bir heyelan gölü. Bu heyelanın ucunda da Türkiye’nin en büyük şelalesi olan Tortum Şelalesi yer alıyor.
