Lake Sülüklü, Natural landslide lake in Mudurnu, Turkey.
Lake Sülüklü is a mountain lake located on the border between Sakarya and Bolu provinces, situated within Sülüklügöl Nature Park. The water reaches depths of around 35 meters and is surrounded by forested shores that give it a quiet appearance.
The lake formed in 1703 when tectonic movements triggered a landslide that created a water-filled depression. This formation has remained stable for over three centuries.
Local inhabitants maintain traditional knowledge about the lake's trout population, which holds medicinal properties according to regional customs.
To reach the lake, first take the 32-kilometer asphalt road from Akyazı to the lake access point. From there, a 9-kilometer dirt path leads to the water's edge.
The water contains around 183 standing trees that have remained preserved since the lake's formation. These submerged trunks create an unusual landscape beneath the surface.
