Today after breakfast we begin our day tour. Sugul Valley is one of the important natural beauties worth seeing in Sivas. The valley, from the geological II. Zaman (Mesozoic), was formed during the Cretaceous period. Surrounded by rather hard and steep rocks, the main rock of the valley is sedimentary. The two slopes of the valley are stony and have a clay soil structure. In addition, the valley floor consists of sandy soil with a loose granular structure. As a result of the natural abrasions occurring on the rocks, the fall of large rock pieces to the river and river edges, and the crumbling of some rocks increase this visual richness. The vegetation of the valley is willow near the stream and wild almond, rose hip and sumac trees on the slopes. Juniper trees are also rarely seen on the rocks. Many tourists prefer hiking in the canyon. Here you can relax and be alone with nature. After the tour we depart to your hotel. Overnight in Sivas.
