Lakes and wetlands
Şavşat Karagöl
A wooded lake in the Karagöl section of Karagöl-Sahara National Park.
A closer look
Şavşat Karagöl lies in the lake section of Karagöl-Sahara National Park. Water, woodland and slopes form a compact landscape whose details change with the light. Allow time for the permitted shore paths instead of treating the lake as a brief roadside photograph stop.
It is separate from Borçka Karagöl. Check that your navigation points to Şavşat and the Meşeli area, and distinguish a lakeside stroll from longer mountain walks requiring additional preparation.
