Lake Gölcük
Gölcük Tabiat Parkı
A small lake on the southern outskirts of Bolu. The wooden lakeside cabin and autumn leaves reflected in the water make it a popular photo spot, and it is perfect for a half-day picnic and stroll.
Lake Gölcük lies in the mountain forest about 13 km south of Bolu city centre, at an elevation of about 1,350 m. The lake is not large. The lakeside trail is about 1.5 km and takes half an hour to walk. The wooden cabin jutting out over the water is the classic photo angle, and autumn is especially beautiful when red and yellow leaves reflect in the lake. The park has picnic areas and a café. The nature park charges a small entrance fee, and it is about 20 minutes' drive by car.
