Yeniçağa Lake - Bolu / Türkiye (Only On AirVūz)

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : New AirVuz contributor mehmeterdem brings us this excellent drone video from a lake area in northwestern Turkey. It's called Yeniçağa, and it's located near its namesake town in the Province of Bolu, just east of the provincial (and namesake) capital city. This is roughly a three hour drive east of Istanbul, and a somewhat shorter distance north of the national capital, Ankara. In contrast to the high density of the country's two largest cities, rural Bolu Province is a lightly-populated land of low mountains, lake, and forests.

more details about BOLU;

Bolu is home to examples of Ottoman architecture. The Grand Mosque dates to 1899, but was originally built by Bayezid I and is home to decorations that resemble embroideries.[10] The Kadı Mosque is perhaps the best example of classical Ottoman architecture in the city, having been built in 1499 and having its entrance embroidered with ornate kündekari works.[11][12]Other Ottoman mosques in the city include the İmaret Mosque, built in the 16th century,[13]Saraçhane Mosque, built in 1750, Ilıca Mosque, built in 1510–11, Karaköy Cuma Mosque, built in 1562-63 and Tabaklar Mosque, built in 1897.[11]

The remains of the ancient city of Bithynium have been found in four hills in the city centre, Kargatepe, Hisartepe, Hıdırlıktepe and the Uğurlunaip Hill. In Hıdırlıktepe, a tomb and the remains of a theatre have been uncovered. In Hisartepe, a temple believed to have been built by the Roman emperor Hadrian for his lover Antinous has been excavated.[11] In 1911, it was noted that "in and around [Bolu] are numerous marbles with Greek inscriptions, chiefly sepulchral, and architectural fragments."[14]

Bolu Museum was established in 1975 to display and protect artifacts found in the Bolu area. It functions as both an archaeological and an ethnographic museum and is home to 3286 archaeological and 1677 ethnographic artifacts, as well as 12,095 historical coins. The archaeological artifacts chronicle the history of the area from Neolithic to Byzantine eras...
