Soğanlı Mountain Pass
Soganli Pass
According to a rumor, Soğanlı Pass was opened by the Russians in 1916-17. It is a route that takes some courage, but one of the most magnificent passes in the Black Sea is Soğanlı Pass.
Coming from Bayburt, a bare road climbs towards desolate plateaus. The uppermost part of the pass is like a sea of flowers. When you look down, the Black Sea forests wink through the clouds. It is possible to descend 1000 meters from a flat, rock wall by turning 22 bends.
The upper valleys of Of greet you as if it were a tropical region. The beauty of ancient architecture is nowhere more striking.
If you happen to pass by Bayburt, gather your courage and see the Soğanlı Pass. We wish you a pleasant holiday in advance.
