Yozgat Pine Grove National Park

Yozgat Pine Grove National Park is a protected reserve in Yozgat Province featuring expansive tree-covered hills that rise above the surrounding plains. The site includes hiking trails, camping grounds, a three-star hotel, and dining options for visitors.

The protected area was established in 1958, marking an important step forward in Turkey's conservation efforts at the time. Its creation reflected growing national interest in safeguarding natural resources.

The forest serves as a refuge where local people spend time outdoors and connect with the landscape around them. Visitors come here to escape routine and walk among the old trees that shape the identity of this region.

Access to the grounds is best on foot, as the terrain is hilly and walking routes require varying effort depending on your chosen path. Bring suitable clothing and stick to marked trails to explore safely.

The park contains pine species normally found only in high mountain ranges far to the east, thriving here for hundreds of years in an unexpected location. This unusual tree collection makes the area scientifically valuable and sets it apart from other protected reserves.
