Its story

Lake Aygır is a glacial lake at an altitude of about 2740 meters at the foot of the Haldizen Mountains, south of the Çaykara district. Lakes of this kind, formed in basins eroded by glaciers, are typical features of the Eastern Black Sea's high-mountain belt; there are other small lakes around it, such as Balık Gölü and Karagöl. The lake, set among bare rocks and alpine meadows above the tree line, is an impressive destination in the summer months for experienced hikers.
