KUL KURBAN LAKE

Five kilometres beyond the village, at an altitude of 1,800 metres, Kul Kurban, the lake of the victims, is a destination for a walk, to be reached on foot or by cable car when the cable car is running. The lake appeared in 1766, following an earthquake. Two mountains collapsed on a village, killing its entire population and creating a vast depression where water accumulated. The lake only fills up when the snow melts and the rest of the time it looks like a mini desert at altitude, where a few derisory pedal boats are lying around.
