Lake Yeniçağa
Yeniçağa Gölü
A wetland lake east of Bolu, with reed beds and many migratory birds. Eel restaurants on the lakeshore are a local specialty.
Lake Yeniçağa lies about 35 km east of Bolu, beside the D100 highway. It is an important wetland for birdwatching, where many waterbirds can be seen in spring and autumn. Wooden boardwalks and viewing platforms line the lake, and the reed beds look lovely at sunset. Eel caught in the lake is a local signature dish. It makes a good stop on the way to Gerede or Ankara, and a visit takes about an hour.
