Hasan Mountain

Hasan Mountain (Hasan Dağı) is the second highest mountain in the Central Anatolia Region. Hasan Mountain, which is the continuation of the Taurus Mountains (Toros Dağları), is located between Aksaray and Niğde provinces. The mountain, which has an altitude of 3,268 meters, is essentially a volcanic mountain. It is known that Hasan Mountain, where there are two craters named Big Hasan (Büyük Hasan) and Small Hasan (Küçük Hasan), has been extinct since 7000 BCE.Hasan Mountain attracts the attention of mountain lovers with its safe trails. While the Nora Ancient City, located at the foot of the mountain, is home to an important cultural treasure, the fish restaurants located next to the Helvadere Pond (Helvadere Gölü) offer different tastes to nature lovers. Those who use the chalet trail to climb Hasan Mountain, of which summit is reached in an average of six hours, first encounter with the Sütlü Church (Sütlü Kilise). On the way to summit, an endless land under your feet, the Salt Lake (Tuz Gölü) and Erciyes and Ekecik mountains will appear. Skiing is possible on Mount Hasan, especially between December and April. In addition, amateur and professional athletes coming to Hasan Mountain, which has suitable conditions for paragliding, jump from the slope and glide in the sky.
