Description

Tulove Grede consists of high white peaks and rock formations that are very photogenic. The mountain peaks are famous because the white rocks were the setting for the Winnetou and Old Shatterhand movies. At the top there are some information boards with stills of the movies and photos of the main actors.

But this scenic location is also good for birdwatching. On the way up along the 6 km gravel road you can already make several stops, enjoy the views and have a chance to see birds like Kaya sıvacısı, Bıyıklı Ötleğen, Ak Yanaklı Baştankara and Yılan Kartalı. On the top you will find a small plateau with rocky grasslands surrounded by white rounded rock peaks. This area is a good place to look for Kara Kulaklı Kuyrukkakan, Orman Toygarı and Gökardıç. In the air look for Sarıgagalı dağkargası, Kuzgun and Kaya kartalý.
