About İğneada Floodplain Forest Getaway

A wonderful two-day nature tour awaits you, where you will deeply explore the most beautiful natural spots of Kırklareli, the oxygen reservoir of the Marmara region. Specially designed for travelers seeking both the healing peace of nature and the adventure of discovering new places, this route consists of unique underground caves and lush dense forests. Your journey begins with the Dupnisa Mağarası, located deep within the Strandzha Mountains visitors with its thousands of years old stalactites and stalagmites. After exploring this cold and impressive natural wonder underground, you will move to the city center to visit the rich Kırklareli Müzesi, which reflects the region's historical past and ethnographic structure. Later in the day, you will stop by the peaceful Karahıdır Krusu recreation area where you can be alone with nature, and then examine the Eriklice Mağarası, one of the region's lesser-known but intriguing natural formations, completing a full first day where nature and history blend.

On the second day, you will head straight towards the green paradises of Thrace. You will start the day in the lush Kavaklımeşe Korusu Tabiat Parkı, where you can take a peaceful morning walk in the dark shade of century-old trees. After breathing in the fresh air of the forest, you will visit the Dupnisa Mağarası Çıkışı point, a different underground route of the cave adventure you started the previous day, to see the other face of the massive cave and its impressive surrounding nature. The most crucial final point of the day and the tour will be the famous İğneada Longoz Ormanları National Park, which holds one of the rarest ecosystems in the world. In this natural wonder where sea, sand, and forest blend flawlessly and birdsongs are never missing, you can rest your soul by walking among reeds, lagoon lakes, and flooded forests. Taking on entirely different colors especially in the spring green and autumn yellow months, this adventurous route is a perfect getaway for those wishing to escape the stress of city life.
