28.1. Sema ÇİMEN- Atatürk Secondary School
On a sunny Sunday we were at the picnic with our students at Emli Valley. The students and I are playing tag. While were running, we saw a bird coming near us. It settled on the ground and looked us. It was really very beautiful. We thought that it was hurt but it wasn’ t. It started to speak. We were surprised how a bird could speak. It said that it lost its way and asked where it was. We asked its name. It was TECHNOBIRD. We said it was at Emli Valley in Çamardı / NİĞDE. It wanted us to give information about Çamardı and Niğde.
Emli Valley is a valley near Çukurbağ Village. You can go trekking and camp in this valley. Some of the cyclist ride here. There are different kind of flowers in summer. In winter you can see the mountain goats and deers. In every season you can watch the magnificent view of Aladağlar.
Technobird loved Emli Valley but it was tired and hungry. We ate fish together. It also loved the fish because the fish was very delicious. In Çamardı there are lots of fish restaurants near Ecemiş River.
Ecemiş River is located between Niğde Massive and Aladağ which is eastern part of the Middle Taurus Mountains. Ecemiş River basin, which is in the administrative borders of Niğde Province and Çamardı district, is an open basin. It ' s overall area is 785 km2.
In every season you can find fresh fish there. While eating your fish you can watch the Demirkazık Mountain.
Demirkazık Mountain is the highest peak in Aladaglar, going from Cukurbag to the mountain plateau of Sokulupinar, Demirkazık is the highest of Aladağlar range mountains. It is 3756m. you can come here for climbing. July, August and September are the best months to climb. And you can do hiking here. It has a great view of sunset. Not only Turkish but also tourist from other countries come Çamardı for trekking, hiking and climbing.
In the village of Demirkazik, there is a new privately managed mountain resort with a 100-bed capacity, with eating and bathing facilities as well as a library. It is possible to use this resort as a base for reaching the summits of Demirkazik.
Technobird loved Çamardı and it said it would come again not for trekking but eating fish �
We showed it the way to Niğde because there are lots of historical places to see and taste the delicious Niğde cuisine so that we are sure that it will also love Niğde very much.
