Its story
Büyük Yayla spreads over a very large area on the Yapraklı Mountains north of Yapraklı district. On the yayla, where Scots pine, black pine, fir and juniper trees grow densely in places, there are mountain meadows used as pasture in between. The yayla houses are at kilometer 13 of the yayla road, which starts at the eighth kilometer from the district. It is suitable for horseback and hiking trips, cycling, camping, caravanning and nature photography. The traditional Yapraklı Yayla Culture and Tourism Festival held every summer, with its oil wrestling, marks the liveliest days on the yayla.
