Burdur Gölü
Located within the boundaries of Burdur's city center, Lake Burdur is a wetland of international importance. Half of the lake was included in the Ramsar Convention list in 1994, and the entire lake in 1998. Standing out with its saline character, the lake has a constantly changing water structure due to the salinity that has increased over the last fifty years as a result of drying; this process is also the main factor shaping the lake's algal flora. Clusters of sulfur bacteria can be seen at the sulfate-rich water springs on the lake's northern and northwestern shores, while the marbled patterns formed on the water surface by pine pollen and flower pollen, especially in spring, are striking. A rich diversity of plankton and other organisms, including an endemic species, has been identified in the lake. With its natural structure and birdlife, the lake's surroundings offer a suitable setting for birdwatching, photography tours, cycling routes, nature excursions and hiking.
