The surface of Ardıçlı Lake, located on Ergan Mountain in Erzincan, where the air temperature dropped down to 10 degrees below zero in the higher parts, is frozen. Ice skating lovers who wanted to take advantage of their new natural rink traveled to the lake at an altitude of 2970 meters with their skates and loved ones.

In Gümüşhane’s Dumanlı Village, 38 nature lovers from GÜDAK took part in a 14-kilometer nature walk along the “Lost Santa Road” through the Santa Ruins. Amid fog, drizzle, bird sounds, and blooming flowers, participants followed stone-paved forest paths past historic churches, fountains, and bridges dating back to the 17th century. Known as “Paradise in the Valley,” the Santa Ruins, with seven neighborhoods of centuries-old architecture, offered a blend of natural beauty and deep-rooted history.
