Salt Lake: The Source of Turkey’s Salt Needs
Salt Lake, is the second largest lake in Turkey and meets approximately 70% of the country’s absolute needs. This magnificent natural formation is also home to a rich ecosystem and is of critical importance in terms of preserving biodiversity.
The lake is located at the intersection of Ankara, Konya and Aksaray provincial borders, and the Salt Lake basin is in an important position among wetlands. This region offers habitat to many species both locally and internationally.
Recently, the water level in the lake has dropped, bringing drought conditions. This has caused interesting natural features to form in the lake basin. Visitors walk around the lake to see these unique natural features and enjoy the magnificent views.
The region has become a center of attraction for both local and foreign tourists. In addition to walking on the lake, visitors appreciate the natural beauty and photo opportunities it offers.
