The Nemrut Crater Lake is the second largest crater lake in the world. The landscape is impressive for both birders and nature enthusiasts.
The Nemrut Crater Lake has vegetation that is very interesting for birdwatching. However, there is the brown bear (Ursus arctos) that needs to be take into account. This is an ex-breeding habitat of the Baršunasti turpan. In the area you can see several steppe species as well once the snow has melted in spring. Among the birds you can encounter are Turska kamenjarka, Jarebica, Vinogradska strnadica, Kos kamenjar, Sivi svračak, Brgljez lončar, Crvenokrila zeba, Riđi mišar and Turska beloguza.
