GOREME


Large rocks conical shape the landscape of Cappadocia. Behind these magical "fairy mountains" is the heart of the landscape: Göreme. The first settlement on the environment will be dated the Roman period. The residential caves and churches, in the rocks were eingemeißelt bear the mysticism of its history to the present day.

Cappadocia is the land between the Taurus Mountains in the south, Aksaray in the west, Malatya in the east and the Black Sea in the north. Through volcanic eruptions, the country was tuff by numerous layers of different thickness and strength here. Wind and water formed the cones and pyramidenhaften stone formations, the so-called "fairy chimneys" or "fairy mountains".
