Uyluk Tepe

hike | 2022-09-24
3016 m altitude, 1664 m prominence, 48.76 km isolation

I leave the hotel before dawn. It takes almost 4 hours to reach the trailhead. From Gömbe the road is unpaved. However, to my surprise I find brown signposts to points of interest. However, after a few kilometres, the arrows and my direction will stand out.

The first plateau

I park the car on the first big plateau, change my shoes and start walking, soon i realize that road similar quality as before, get back in the car and drive on. About one and a half kilometres later I come to a second plateau with a few buildings. I leave the car next to them.

Locals prepare for winter and pack for moving down
No trail in sight, doesn’t seem to be much needed

Looking around, I see a ridge that I would have had to climb over if I had chosen a different parking space, a little higher up. Rob’s advice to start climbing from the meadow is very good.

A look back to the meadow where I left my car
Slightly steeper in several places
Nice landscape
Great landscape
An interesting trail
In this meadow I leave the path and climb straight up the slope

At 2500 metres, the trail goes to the left. Trail should also lead to the summit, but Mclellan gpx track looks faster and i take it.

Looking back
View from the hillside
Perhaps Kizlar Sivrisi?
I’m almost to the ridge
In the east, I see unpaved roads. Maybe one can drive on
One more lake
A false summit
The ridge is quite flat
Close to the top
The highest point is marked by a flag

After climbing up the slope to the ridge, the trail is quite flat and easy. To be more precise, there is no trail, but you don’t really need one. I approach the false summit, go around to the left and quickly reach the true summit. A flag flies at the highest point.

View to the north-west
View southwards
Great weather, beautiful views
Farmland and settlements in the distance

After looking around and eating an apple, I climb down. The same path as I came. It’s easy to go down, and I’m moving more optimally than forward

View from a saddle near the summit

At the car, local shepherds were very inviting to have a cup of tea. I had to say thanks and refuse – as I had some plans. At the end they ask me to take their centenarian grandmother to the nearest village – Gömbe. So I do, and I hope it counts as a good deed..

End of summer, dry

Another Turkish Ultra peak climbed, gand the day is only half over, so I’m trying my luck with one more Ultra peak – Babadag. It’s just over 35 kilometres away, but it’s almost a 3-hour drive…
