Its story
The Anzer Highland is about 35 km southwest of İkizdere and about 54 km from central Rize. It consists of two parts, Aşağı Anzer (Çiçekliköy) and Yukarı Anzer (Ballıköy), and was declared a tourism center in 1991. Above slopes covered with forests up to 2,000 meters, peaks exceeding 3,000 meters rise. The highland's name is identified with Anzer honey, obtained from the rich high-altitude flower cover and considered very valuable; beekeeping is at the center of the economy here. Every year in the first week of August, the Anzer Honey and Highland Festival is held. It is also a suitable starting point for trekking and mountaineering.
