From Aydıntepe to Dede Korkut

A route from the Aydıntepe Underground City, carved into volcanic tuff, to the Konursu Ulu Mosque, built without nails or glue, to the Baksı Museum, which brings contemporary art and crafts together on a hill overlooking the Çoruh Valley, and to the Dede Korkut Tomb, commemorated with a festival every July.
