One of the places to visit in Konya is Aladağ Pond Park. There is a beautiful park around Derbent Pond, which is
located at the foot of Konya's winter sports center Aladağ and meets the
irrigation needs of the region. Located at the city entrance on the Konya road
and bearing the name of Aladağ, this park satisfies the eyes and hearts with
its green texture and natural beauties. The park, which is an extremely
beautiful wetland fed by spring and snow waters, is located among the highlands
covered with beautiful pine and oak forests. This region is an excellent
tourism region where all kinds of camping, nature and water sports can be done.
In Aladağ Pond Park, around the pond where green and blue meet, outdoor
activity facilities such as walking tracks and cycling paths, where various
activities can be made, have been built recently. Pergolas, sitting benches,
children's playgrounds were arranged in the greenery surrounding the park, and
elegant landscapes such as rose gardens, ornamental pools, bridges, and
waterfalls were created. In addition, facilities such as a restaurant, kebab
grill, prayer room, restroom were also built here.
In Aladağ Pond Park, you can do sports in the fresh air in the morning, ride a bike, take a boat trip during the day, sip your tea by enjoying a picnic and barbecue, watch the sunset in the evening and spend the night in a tent camp or caravan park with peace of mind. Although Aladağ Pond Park, which has become the place of local and foreign visitors, has different beauties in four seasons, there are snapshots that will make postcards jealous, especially after snowfall. That is why we invite photography enthusiasts to Derbent, especially in autumn and winter.
