Seven hidden lakes reveal Uludağ’s geological legacy
A breathtaking view of one of Uludağ Mountain’s seven hidden glacial lakes, glimmering high in the alpine heights of Bursa.
High above the northwestern Turkish city of Bursa, seven alpine lakes scattered across the summit of Uludağ preserve traces of geological processes that unfolded over millions of years.
Known as the Lakes Region, the area sits near the summit of Uludağ, a mountain that rises to over 2,500 meters and is one of Türkiye’s best-known destinations for winter sports and nature.
The seven lakes, Aynalı, Karagöl, Buzlu, Kilimli, Heybeli, Kovukdere and Cayırlıdere, were shaped by glaciers and are fed by surface and groundwater.
