Uzungol Lake, whose name means "Long Lake", is considered the most beautiful lake in Turkey. It is located in the village of Uzungol in the Trabzon province. It was formed when a landslide changed the course of the river into a natural dam and amazingly reflected all the colors of the surrounding valleys. Today, it is a piece Little Switzerland in the Black Sea region of Turkey, it has a picturesque view surrounded by high green mountains on all sides. There are many easy hiking trails in the surrounding hills, and you may be lucky here to spot the Eurasian lynx, roe, badger or one of the types of birds of prey.
