It is one of the places to visit when you come to Ardahan. Entry is free. There is security. There is a toilet. There is a cafe. The surroundings are as clean and safe as possible. It can be made even more attractive with various activities and events. The view is very beautiful. With the expansion of the Kura River in spring, it offers people a lake view. There are many beautiful shades of green here. If you come here, I recommend you to visit. I wish you healthy and peaceful days
