Our 4th highest mountain, Kaçkar Summit, is one of the most beautiful peaks. The months after July and from August to September are suitable for climbing. This is because you can climb without stepping on glaciers. The large sea lake is fascinating. We started our climb from Dilberdüzü campsite.

Kaçkar Dağları, Karadeniz'in hırçın doğasını ve yeşilin her tonunu kucaklayan, Türkiye'nin açık ara en büyüleyici rotalarından biridir. Bulutların denizine karışan sivri zirveleri, sisler içindeki yemyeşil yaylaları ve dağların arasına gizlenmiş buzul gölleriyle insana adeta başka bir dünyadaymış hissi verir. ​Havası ne kadar tahmin edilemez ve coğrafyası ne kadar çetin olursa olsun, sunduğu o vahşi ve el değmemiş manzara her türlü yorgunluğa sonuna kadar değiyor. Özellikle doğa yürüyüşü ve kamp tutkunları için eşsiz bir macera alanı. Şehrin betonundan ve gürültüsünden uzaklaşıp doğanın tam kalbinde, o tertemiz dağ havasını ciğerlerinize çekmek istiyorsanız rotanızı mutlaka buraya çevirmelisiniz. Hayatta en az bir kez gidilip görülmesi, o sisli ve mistik atmosferin yaşanması gereken efsanevi bir yer!
