Western Black Sea region has been living inside a mountain in spring
Spring comes to my place I can not stop ... In fact, this is not a correct sentence. "All season I can not stop me in" would be more accurate to say. I like every season for those who are in no way to stop the pretense of separate, distinct beauty exists. Anyway, now the spring, to know him no mind. How exciting to watch the awakening of nature that you know would love to spring. Just like the thrill when a lover's feelings mahmurluk watch this.
Flowers smell of a spring morning, the sun came out the first light path. Many had no cars in July. Who are also like a shot and threw out my hand was lost. After a journey came to Gerede unhurried. Vehicles parked in the streets and around the district, the artisan began to open new stores. Is to sweep the front of the door, window with the newspaper is shining, warm bread is placed on the glass case, the goods inside the shop, to be exhibited on the sidewalk
were aligned. Between you and me, until you intend to come here, you did not know much about its history. Resources confused and remained confused compared. This last century, the place was frequented by travelers.
Eparchy CENTER
For example, to the region in the middle of the year 1800 the French scientist Charles TEXIER, "Little Asia" in his book Gerede wrote the following: "The old name, some things have been maintained Gerede, no doubt, when the Emperor Constantine's name as a result then Flaviopolis name Kratia old city area. Timely Gerede Byzantine emperor, a bishopric center and was one of the state's major cities ... A very large modern cities, industrial and commercial mobility Gerede image exhibitions. A large number of goats in the city's major export product, the skin provides the basic materials. It is also very lively Dericilik sheep. City is surrounded by gardens ... "
Another famous traveler Ibn Batuta came to Gerede was too. Gerede for Sultan Shah Beg, very handsome, good-natured but a bit tight-fisted Batuta says, "travel" in the city of sin is described as follows: "Gerdibolu on a hillside, beautiful and is a big city. Bazaars and streets are wide. The cold is one of the city. It is divided into separate quarters, each quarter of its population lives ... "
Compliments to the flat after Gerede Evliya Çelebi, the cold air was close. Çelebi, here's the cold, Erzurum eşdeğerli indicate that it was the cold. Celebrities, like a traveler in search of some would exaggerate, or tell the truth was. I can not cut it, but in the streets of the old information Gerede stop pursuit when it was cold I felt. And cold morning wind comes from the breakdown of the Summit, a rush of people after pet cool down cool to the plains, with wheat ear was going to play with each other.
CASTLE RESTORATION lost in
I was put off again. Cars, Gerede began to climb the mountain that's lean. After rising a good deal of standing, and watched the plains below. Green was green fields. After a period of time between the entry way of the forest. Powder-smoke, but was a way shaded green. Giving each other shoulder is a virgin forest of cedar trees image, was open to any fantasy.
A dumdum bullet hole in the middle of the show's sign was caught in the tide. Two miles later I found the Goat Castle. Plains dominate the hills, the forests between the castle courtyard decorated with yellow flowers, was built in MS 13-14 century. With last year destroyed the walls, was built in 1995 again. It's place for that historical buildings, it was a brand new castle. To find an image that belong to the old walls around and stood around in vain.
Resources related to the castle took place the following legend: "The enemy will attack both the people seek refuge in the castle. The enemy, a kind of fortress zaptedemez. Runs out of food and beverages inside day. Falls to the people of Gerede difficult situation. One night, one candle to the horns of goats connect all the castles and fortresses are outside of the salar. Is horrified to see the enemy. Hundreds came to the top of the torch I Gerede with the opportunity to gather weapons and food to find the foothills of the mountain runs before. This event takes the name of the castle after castle goat ... "
Leave the flowers alone, and Goat Castle, came from the way I continue my climb to the summit. Forest to the road side in armfuls while watching the trees, they found that race skyward. And were stopped before reaching to touch the clouds. Summit of the silence, the trees in the wind I heard you speak. Hışır hışır a speech. Flights from the other tree is a tree the wind, caressing them, the wind and was shaking. Cotton, cotton clouds, and the following illustration of the way the game was written in the sky.
GREEN START ŞİRİNYAZI'NIN of mallard
Late of the plateau is Urumşu, fountain, elderly women have learned at the beginning of washing. I lost my way after the plateau. I came against four-road junction. One was identified, the least I went, I went uz but somehow could not find the right path. Under a tree to snooze I asked the forester. To describe the direction I was able to go Bürnük Village Pond in Şirinyazı. Small, cute, has a pond around the grove. Green-headed ducks and guns away from hunters, the interior and comfortable, was coy coy face. Tired and hungry to get lost and had to disappear. In a pension from the hill of the lake, the wind's Aunt Ünzile I feed my stomach with stuffing pavement.
Then the plateau between the way and began to Mengen in to. Despite the dust and open windows, get a pat my chest let yelin scented. Of forests to the plains in the period from the period, while the way I went to wrap the plants branch.
Mengen has appeared before the village. Turkey's "flavor wizards" Most of these villages were trained in and the environment. Hidden between the wooden tree houses a year over rubicund kids bouncing off the kitchen was always in the far. After it's over the mountains from the village. Roads were turned into asphalt. Fatless by following the river valleys and the base of the flow went. I then went for a good deal of Mengen District. Coastal path in the "Manager" of restaurants and Mengen Cooking Vocational High School in the restaurants with local flavor and my palate was cracked and then the road continues.
Feasting in SAFRANBOLU
Mengen passing and broke the steering wheel towards the Karabuk. Silent, was a quiet way. Began new leaf trees decorate the green plains of the injury to the wound before Karabuk, then I have to Safranbolu.
Kadioglu Konaklar After the break, I went round Safranbolu. Districts of the most well known of the old county names Aytekin Birds were learned from the first. In the Byzantine Daybra'ymış name. 1196'da, the Seljuk period was Zalifre. In the first period of Ottoman Borglu Beylikler and became Bor. Placed in the area of the tribal Taraklı was inserted here Taraklıborlu name. In the Ottoman period, 18 In the middle of the century-Zağfiran Borlu, after the second half of the 19 th century was Zağfiran-ı Benderli. Finally the return to Zafranbolu and Safranbolu was.
Aytekin bird, the bird view is a district Hıdırlık told by one at home from the hill; 17th Safranbolu century on an important Gerede-Tokat-Sivas kervanyolu conditioned accommodation. Standing in the middle of the town with the magnificent old Cinci Han is still in the era of the volume of trade was the most important evidence.
The best examples of traditional Turkish architecture were also exhibited here. 2000 traditional home in the District had received 800 protection. The 3-storey and 6-room houses, mostly, so it was a good position, one another's views never off. Narrow stone streets to move around, people were pushed to another time zone. Rivers flowing from the gold Lütfiye Mosque, Cinci Bath, Köprülü Mehmet Paşa mosque courtyard in the sun in time, converted into a museum of Governor House, the House of Çizmeci magnificent staircase, Kile developers home decorations of the wood, As pool, the old town hall, the radio museum, doors, locks, fountains, blacksmith and a market, the 350-year old tannery Arasta we have coffee in the rally, but my breath.
I see what you think, you know I never ever really noticed the Safranbolu. To enjoy the area of food in the restaurant and looked Kadioglu and Kazanocağı.
