Ilgaz Mountain Range





The name of Ilgaz stands for the mountain range about 40 km south of the Kastamonu province center. Their peeks make the border between Kastamonu in the northern side and Çankırı province in the south. These ranges also make the dividing line in between the Central Anatolian Pletau and the Northern Anatolian slopes. During the antiquities it was named as Olgassys. Its peaks demand respect just as it did in those days.

Ilgaz Mountains are a home to many different species of wild life. Among them are the grizzly bear, wolves, foxes, wild bores, white elk, white tail deer, rabbits, and otters. Its flora is very rich as well. About one tenth of 9250 different species of plant life in Turkey are in Ilgaz mountain ranges. In these mountains there are many endemic plants that have taken their names from Kastamonu. Of 351 different plants found in Ilgaz Mountains 64 are endemic to these mountains.

About 1089 hectares of the mountain range was declared a National park in 1976. The Büyük Hacet peak in the National Park with its 2587 meters height is the heights point in the range. Enjoy...
