Things to do

Uzungöl Nature Park
The protected forest and pasture around the lake, with marked paths climbing to the plateaus above and away from the hotel strip. The upper meadows are where the valley still looks like itself.
-
Haldizen Mountains
The range above the lake, rising past three thousand metres, with high pastures reached by track from the village and a route through to the Kaçkar. Cloud and rain arrive fast at this altitude.

Uzungöl Dursun Ali İnan Museum
A private museum in the village holding the tools, textiles and household things of the Çaykara valleys, assembled over decades by one collector. It is small and it is the only cultural stop here.
