Photosafari around Avusor plateau

by infinitys

Avusor is not a well known place around east part of black sea region.Only the tracking groups knows this plateau,from the centre of the town to the main plateau it takes as about one hour by walk.There is also a crater lake at the top of the mountain,the height is approximately 2200 meters.During your walking path,all of the ground is totally surrounded by the flowers so called '' Safran '' in Turkish as you can see from my photo as well.Summers are really enjoyable if you would like to listen the sounds of nature only.Professional equipment is required like bags,hats and sweaters during your journey in order to prevent from unexpected weather conditionsTransportation to the town from the main popular touristical attractions of the region Ayder is not so easy I would say.I strongly recommend you to take guide if you would like to travel around Avensur.

Polavit waterfall

by infinitys

If you are going to come to this waterfall from Trabzon,you have to follow the following path specified below;Trabzon/Rize/Camlihemsin/Zilkale/Sensuya villageIt is a little bit difficult to find the way to this so called polavit waterfall cause there is no sign during the road,you have to ask the road to someone from the village.Some of the paths through the forest,it is not possible to use any kind of car for your information.But the nature is so amazing to discover if you like to walk among the undiscovered trees as you can see from my photo.
