Today's excursion takes us through a fantastic landscape to the south of Cappadocia, into the Soganli Valley. We hike through a fascinating lunar landscape up to a Table Mountain where erosion has formed tall tufa cone towers with domed roofs, which were hollowed out in the Middle Ages as churches and living spaces. Here, too, we discover ornate rock churches with precious frescoes. On the way back we visit the underground city of Derinkuyu. Large tunnel systems with living and storage rooms and long ventilation shafts extend here. Even animal stables with feeding troughs are still recognizable.
