Kadirli Beyolugu Savrun Gozu Dokurcun and Cigsar Highlands, Osmaniye Turkey

Transportation: It is a 65 km drive along a gravel road from the town of Kadirli. In the summer there are minibuses from Kadirli.

Description: These mountain highlands found nestled up in the foothills of the Dibek Mountains, the northeast extension of the Taurus mountains, are an exquisite natural paradise with their juniper, fir and cedar forests, daunting cliffs, and high mountain meadows covered with beautiful wild flowers.

With birds of prey continually soaring above their wild precipices, these mountain highlands were the stomping grounds of the famous writer Yasar Kemal’s ‘Ince Memed’.

In the highlands along the banks of Savrun Creek are beautiful orchards: apple, pear, cherry, sour cherry and mulberry. This is a good camp site with lots of water. At the cigsar highland there are some very nice rocky projections called Deli obek and Harman Kaya, which are ideal for the rock climbing enthusiasts.
