Its story
The rock tomb in the village of Salar is cited among the monumental tombs carved into the rock by the Paphlagonians around the 7th century BC. The village is about 12 km from the Boyabat district center. A management plan for the 'Boyabat Salar Village Rock Tombs Ecotourism Area', prepared by the Sinop Regional Directorate of Forestry, has been approved, and a nature-walk trail has been laid out in the village. The rock tomb, together with the village fabric and the surrounding forests, is a good destination for a short rural trip.
