Valleys and Hazelnut Groves
Sign in to like and rate
The interior of Giresun is less known than its coast, yet that is where the real production happens: hazelnut groves terraced into steep slopes, streams falling through forest and valley towns. This route joins two valleys, beginning at a waterfall and ending at a castle. Four stops, a full day.
Route Stops
Çağlayan Waterfall.
A waterfall dropping through the forest in the Yağlıdere valley. Not tall but strong in flow, ringed by hazelnut groves. The path is short and easy.
Power.
A small district surrounded by forest, living on hazelnuts and forestry. No tourist arrangement, but density of green and quiet.
Doğankent.
Crossing into the Harşit valley. A narrow valley, the river and houses clinging to the slopes; a place with a mining past.
Andoz Castle.
The castle on the rock above the valley closes the route. From the top you see how the two valleys meet and open to the sea.
