Sakarçiftliği: Ortaseki Forests and Nature Trails

The Ortaseki area of Sakarçiftliği is centered on woodland scenery and observing nature. Aspen forests, colors that change with the seasons, and a variety of plant and animal species give the area a distinct connection to nature. There is also a hiking and cycling trail, offering time in nature away from the noise of the city. When planning your trip, you can decide whether to focus more on physical activity, the changing landscape, or the local flora and fauna.

Woodland Scenery and Observing Nature

The Ortaseki forests consist of aspen trees. They display different colors and special charms in every season. If you choose the area because you want the landscape itself to be part of your holiday, you can take the timing of your trip into account: the forest looks different throughout the year.

The flora and fauna also give Ortaseki a distinctive character. Alongside aspens, the area is home to daisies, Yavşan otu, Erciyes geveni, mountain tulips, and Damkoruğu, among others; there are also various species of butterflies, bees, and birds. Their presence may vary by season. If you are interested in observing nature, factor the season into your expectations: the woodland scenery remains the shared backdrop, while the species found there may not be the same at every time of year.

There is a hiking and cycling trail in the woodland area of Ortaseki Mevkii in Sakar-Çiftliği Mahallesi. It offers the opportunity to spend time in nature away from the noise of the city. Whether you prefer walking or cycling is up to you and the pace of activity you want.

The Ortaseki-Erciyes-Titrek-Kavak Ecotourism Area is suitable for nature trips by school students.
