Beautiful view on one of the best tours around Göreme. If the weather is good, you can see the Erciyes Dağı mountain in the background and are reminded a bit of the famous Mount Fuji in Japan :-)

The trail to Taubental offers beautiful panoramic views, but is quite strenuous in blazing sunshine. It's a good hike in overcast autumn weather.
