エルズルム周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ8

Monument to the Turkish soldiers who held the line after loss of Erzurum and Trabzon. Lovely position for statue of salute to the soldiers who died here. Beautiful views !

The entrance fee for foreigners is around 3 euros. Unfortunately, there is not much to see in the castle, but the view of Erzurum from the tower is very beautiful.

I didn’t have enough charge to record all the descent. It goes on for miles (much longer than komoot allowed me to mark up) The whole route from the pass down to the main road is amazing. Worth a detour in our view.

Beautiful road! At the end of the road there are a beautiful red chimney! A lot of fountains along this track!

beautiful fortress with museum

Very quiet road, some abandonned houses in the beginning of the road coming from Aşkale. Nice views, enjoy!

Good asphalt surface the whole way (except in Korucuk village, look out for the nearly invisible speed bumps there). Slightly more climbing but reasonable gradients, decent scenery and almost no traffic.

That old Madrasa of Erzurum is now an ethnic museum. The entrance fee is quite reasonable (12.5 lira in 2021), the exposition is not big but interesting. Moreover, the building is beautiful inside and outside. I loved the traditional 1m doors!
