Equidistant from Istanbul and Ankara, it is in great demand. This ski resort, located 192 km from Ankara and 262 km from Istanbul in Bolu province, was established on the gently rising slopes of the 2378 meter-high Köroglu Mountains, one of the highest ranges on the Black Sea. Harboring a total of 320 highland plateaus in their foothills, these mountains, whose summits have their heads in the clouds in all four seasons, are named for the legendary Köroglu, an Anatolian-style Robinhood who rebelled against the cruel Bolu Bey, robbing the rich to give to the poor. Home to rare species of flora and fauna, the Köroglu range, whose natural beauty is protected by national park status, plays host to ski buffs in winter and to travelers during the other three seasons of the year, extending its hospitality to botanists, zoologists, amateur fishermen and hang gliding enthusiasts.
