It is 175 km far away from Giresun City center, and the altidude is nearly 2000-2200 m in this area. You can see all beatiues of the wild flowers under the pines and firs. And also enjoy on the green pastures with decorated hundreds of spring waters borning from the earth and very clean small streams. You don't spend much effort to see the eagles and many other bird species. You think you live in a real heaven there. If you like to listen yourself it is a must to see. I was there in July 7th, 2006 for one day. It was foggy but sometimes it offered its beauities under sunshine too. I loved there much. Please rent a 4x4 and discover the flora and fauna which is still waiting to be discovered by you.Alucra Town
