Yozgat Pine Grove National Park

The national park spans 264 hectares at an elevation of 1,360 meters, featuring pine-covered hills that contrast with the surrounding steppe landscape.

Established on February 5, 1958, this protected area marked a milestone in Turkish conservation as the country's first designated national park.

This nature reserve represents Turkey's commitment to environmental protection, maintaining centuries-old pine specimens for future generations to study and appreciate.

Visitors can access accommodation at a three-star hotel, utilize camping areas, dine at restaurants, and enjoy facilities including playgrounds and hiking trails.

The park contains pine tree species normally found only in the high Caucasus Mountains, with specimens aged between 350 and 500 years.
