Karagöl Yaylası Sarıçamı Tabiat Anıtı
The Karagöl Yaylası Scots Pine Natural Monument is a monumental Scots pine tree standing within a recreation area on the Karagöl Yaylası in Sakarya's Taraklı district. The tree, 150-200 years old, stands out with its 17-meter height, roughly 1-meter diameter and 4.5-meter circumference. The tree's natural value lies both in its long life and in the harmony it forms with the fir tree beside it; this pair offers a fine example of a mixed stand. The forest fabric around the yayla creates a peaceful setting for nature trips. You can reach the area from the Adapazarı-Bilecik highway by turning toward Taraklı-Göynük and following the Karagöl Yaylası signs from the Mahdumlar Köyü junction.
