Its story
Limni Lake is on the Saronay Highland, within the boundaries of the village of Zigana attached to Torul; it is about 20 km from Torul and about 45 km from Gümüşhane. Its surroundings are covered with Scots pine, spruce, fir and juniper trees; wild roses and blackberries grow on its shore. Laid out as a recreation area in 1999, the site was declared a nature park in 2011. The walking paths around the lake, the forests changing color in autumn and the lake surface freezing in winter make the area a favorite of photographers in every season. Because of its proximity to the Zigana Pass and the ski center, they can be visited together on the same day.
