Touring Turkey / Ararat:


" The Ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat...
Noah, aware now that Earth was safely through the flood, waited for seven days more.
Then, he released the animals and went out with his family.
He offered a sacrifice to God and then celebrated with a family feast" (ref. Genesis 8:4)

Ararat; reaching to appx 5150 m / 17.000 ft is the tallest peak in Turkey.
From southern approach, it is quite an easy but a long walk, however, the last 1/3 miles to the peak is always snowy & icy even at the end of summer
... professional equipment is necessary.
