Dedegol Tepesi

hike | 2022-09-26
2988 m altitude, 1659 m prominence, 157.41 km isolation

I leave the hotel well before dawn. Surprisingly good roads, and I’m moving relatively fast. But still, it takes almost 3 hours to get to the trailhead. A short stop at the lake, nice views, and a calm morning.

Lake Beyşehir looks nice early in the morning

Yenişarbademli, the last bigger town on my way. It is only a few kilometers away from the trailhead, and I’m ready to start climbing. However, the road just ends soon, and I run into the wall of a new dam being built. I drive back half a kilometer, trying to follow the gravel road. Lucky moment: I’m back on the road.

Streets of Yenişarbademli

When I reach the park ‘entrance’, I run into a new obstacle. The road is blocked with signs saying it is under repair. I will have to walk 2.5 kilometers one way, adding an hour round trip. On the other side of a fenced field, I see another road and try to follow it. Bingo, around the corner, I rejoin my planned road. Technically speaking, I have not broken any rule.

Small cemetery at the trailhead

I leave the car at the road junction, 37.69884, 31.29545. I move through the meadows and then through the forest towards the mountain.

Went through gradual meadow
First steeper slope, but not bad

The first steeper slope is reached, the path forks, and I choose the more visible left one.

Here trail forks to visible and “visible on the map only”

Remote lake Beyşehir
Summit in front

Soon I meet an elderly Mohammed. We get acquainted. I point with my hand to the car in the distance and to the summit on the opposite side. With a nod of his head, he assures me that I’m on the right track. We can’t exchange any more information by gestures, so we go our ways.

Good clear day, with nice views
Lake Beyşehir again
Scree field
Close to the top

The path climbs up a steep slope, then cuts diagonally across a rocky escarpment. A few more meters and I’m at the top. The flag is at the top, and the scenery is magnificent, including blue Lake Beyşehir.

Soon, I find myself walking back on the same road. An hour and a half passes very quickly, and I do not even notice how I get to the car. An easy hike, a beautiful day, and another Turkish ultra peak

From the road, I stopped one more time to take a picture.
