On the beautiful coast of Güzelcehisar in northern Turkey’s Bartın, unique-looking lava columns formed 80 million years ago as a result of the cooling and crystallization of lava flowing from volcanoes have recently attracted even more tourists thanks to newly constructed wooden walking paths and a viewing terrace.
Lava columns can be found around the world in Northern Ireland, Scotland and California, and specifically on the coast of Güzelcehisar in Turkey, where history and nature are intertwined.
They offer beautiful scenes and became one of the frequent destinations of visitors after they were introduced to tourism within the scope of the “Landscape Application Project for Tourism and Recreation Purposes.”
The lava columns fascinate those who see them and are visited by thousands of people from many countries, especially from the United Kingdom and Germany, as well as local visitors.
Those who come to the Güzelcehisar coast, where temperatures reached 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit), can both take a walk and sit on the benches on the 1-kilometer (0.62-mile) wooden track, starting from the pier on the sea, which was built for the purpose of seeing the lava columns more easily, and enjoy the view.
Visitors, who rest on the pier at the end of the track, can gaze at the lava columns and take pictures of the sea and natural views.
They also have the opportunity to walk in certain areas near the lava columns.
