- Love Valley in Cappadocia
Love Valley, which means Valley of Love, is located in the heart of Cappadocia, between the cities of Göreme and Uchisar. The length of the Valley of Love is about four kilometers. The Valley of Love got its name due to the phallic form of stone formations resembling genital organs. If you look at the “Valley of Love” from above, you can see that it is divided into two completely different parts. The part where the remnants in the form of the male genital organ are located is considered the male half of the valley, and the gentle and winding forms of the other part are considered the female half. Mushroom-like tall stone remains can be seen in Cappadocia and elsewhere, but in the Valley of Love they are especially slim and beautiful. The origin of such forms is explained by the fact that softer rocks - tuffs, which form the basis of the column, are susceptible to rain, wind, temperature changes and gradually collapse. The upper part consists of dense basalt - this rock is many times stronger than tuffs, it forms a cone-shaped hat. Over millions of years, unimaginable natural sculptures, similar to mushrooms, have formed. Today, tourists who come to Cappadocia have the opportunity to admire the true masterpieces made by nature itself without human intervention. In the "Valley of Love" planted a large number of vineyards and fruit trees that adorn it with their greenery. Tired travelers can relax in a small cafe located between the male and female halves of the Valley of Love. http://www.tury.ru/sight/id/21101 - a great place where you can hide from the hot summer sun or warm yourself with hot tea on a cool spring day, eat and buy souvenirs in memory of this wonderful place.
