The park is home to a diverse variety of trees, including beech, hornbeam, oak, alder, maple, elm, trembling poplar, yellow and black pine, fir, hazel, linden and ash.
Dominated by shades of green, yellow and brown, Yedigöller invites nature lovers to embark on a journey through the enchanting beauty of autumn.
The cool breeze and mesmerizing colors of the season create a breathtaking landscape often captured and immortalized by photography enthusiasts.
Visitors to Yedigöller can enjoy numerous picnic areas, viewing terraces and resting spots, making it an ideal destination for hiking and connecting with nature.
The park also stands out for its rich flora and fauna. Wildlife such as deer, roe deer, bears, wolves and squirrels thrive in this protected area.
Efforts to preserve the park are actively maintained by the Nature Conservation and National Parks teams, who remind visitors to respect the environment and avoid causing any damage.
Welcoming many domestic and international tourists year-round, Yedigöller especially attracts those eager to experience the splendor of autumn.
