The Secrets of Great Mount Uludağ
Where cold snow meets hot springs
On the freezing snowy peaks of old mount Uludağ, the snow and ice crystals swirl around in the bitter cold whirlwind before getting carried away, far over the forested slopes and icy heights both of which are covered in a soft white winter blanket, a winter landscape with deep ancestry.
Turkey and history are inseparable, it is here in this ancient country where shimmering meetings of continents result in a colossal hub of civilisations, an amalgamation of cultures.
And this breathtaking land, in the Marmara region, we find the amazing Great Mount Uludağ, a winter paradise, a place of legends and myths, a magical mount filled with colourful wildflowers whose delicate fragrance casts a spell over its visitor. But it is also the home to a myriad of fascinating hot springs, truly a world of extremes!
History of the Region
In ancient times mount Uludağ was known as Mysian Olympus, and according to Ancient Greek mythology, it was where the gods lived, the place from where they observed the Trojan wars.
