Uzungöl ("long lake") sits at 1090 m elevation in Trabzon's Çaykara district — a natural alpine lake formed by landslide blockage, surrounded by pine-forested mountains and traditional Pontic wooden yayla houses. Spring and autumn bring dramatic fog and lush green; winter brings deep snow that transforms the lake into a serene white landscape. The wooden mosque reflected in the lake water is the region's defining image.
