Tunceli, a province embraced by towering mountains, offers stunning natural landscapes that remain largely pristine. Located about 83 miles north of Elazig, the region is renowned for its impressive steep cliffs and rugged terrain.
The history of Tunceli stretches back to around 2200 BC, with early inhabitants including the Hurrians and Urartians. Throughout time, control of the area shifted between Persians, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans, until it became part of the Republic of Turkey in 1923. Today, Tunceli preserves relics from these eras and is home to a rich mosaic of ethnic groups.
Among the notable historic sites in Tunceli are the Pertek and Mazgirt fortresses, which are popular destinations for sightseeing. Visitors should also take time to admire the region’s ancient bridges.
Close by, the Munzur Valley National Park offers abundant natural wonders. Famous for its healing mineral springs and clear streams teeming with trout, the park is a favorite spot for fishing enthusiasts and mountain climbers. The park’s highest summit, Akbaba, rises to 3,463 meters (11,361 feet), providing breathtaking views that captivate all nature lovers.
