Ynt: 39°N 37°E Nadiroğlu - Sivas

We drove from Munich to Istanbul in 22 hours. The notorious Autoput has by now almost completely been expanded into a motorway. No comparison to what it used to be like earlier. It is really pleasant and quick to get through. Only the bit from Niş to the Bulgarian border was very hard going. Via a so-called bypass we had to follow a diversion of about 50 kilometres on a very bumpy and untarred small road.

We only stayed in Istanbul for one night, because the heat was unbearable. We then drove to Ankara, where we stayed overnight and bought some tin wares on the castle hill. After that we stayed in Cappadocia for three days and had a look at a few of the valleys with their bizarre and always fascinating rock formations, the underground towns, and the many menhirs. The last night we spent in Kayseri, which is very conservative and not worth visiting. From there we started our journey to this holiday's first confluence point.

On the very well developed road from Kayseri to Malatya we drove until Karahalka and then took a left turn into a very bumpy little road with very big stones. The road stayed like that until Uzunpınar, after that the road surface got even worse. We didn't meet anyone on the way apart from a giant buzzard that flew up just in front of us, a fox that had been sleeping in the ditch at the side of the road and trotted away after we had probably woken it, and also many colourful butterflies and birds. There are absolutely no road signs and town signs in that region. Eventually we landed in the village of Hisar, as we found out later. Here we followed the arrow on the GPS unit, what turned out to have been a mistake afterwards. The stony and bumpy road ended at a beehive. From there we followed the markings that tractors had left and which ended in the middle of nowhere. At the edges of the fields of that droughty area we pushed ahead in the car until we couldn't go any further and were about 1.5 kilometres away from the point.

At first we walked over thistle fields. Tiny burs had got stuck everywhere on our shoes, shoelaces, and trousers. In the distance we saw a large herd of cows and Gunda started to worry that the point would be right in the middle of the herd. In front of the herd we saw a lorry cross. There obviously was a way to the point and we could have saved us the exhausting walk through the thistle fields and wouldn't have had to strain our car like that. Finally we crossed the road and Gunda refused to go any further, because the point in fact was situated right in the middle of the herd of cows. After some persuasion we carried on and the cows moved out of the way. Gunda walked with the GPS right onto the point, making the zero dance obsolete.

When we stopped at the point, a young boy came towards us who was tending the herd. I explained to him what we were doing there. My Turkish language skills weren't the reason why he didn't understand it. While I was taking the necessary photos, another boy arrived on a donkey. When I had explained our appearance to him as well, a man joined us. I had to explain the Degree Confluence Project for the third time. Nobody really understood it as could be seen from the boy's question, if we were going to relocate the telephone line.

After we had finished taking all the photos, we had a lively conversation and the herders invited us for tea. They took tea pots, glasses, sugar, and water from the donkey's saddlebags. Then they collected cow dung and set them on fire with some straw. Ziya diligently cleaned the glasses and prepared the tea. Afterwards we sat on the field, drank tea, and talked about all sorts of things. When we had finished the pot a few hours later we gave our sincere thanks for their hospitality and said goodbye.

Ziya wanted to invite us round to his house, but we wanted to carry on as we had a long way ahead of us and it had become very late already. We walked back to the car, drove back along the sides of the fields to the road as we had come on our way there, and arrived back in the village. We then went along a different road which took us very close to the confluence point where we waved to the herders until we couldn't see each other anymore. Over various gravel roads we eventually got to a tarred road and arrived very late at night in Malatya, the town famous for its apricots.

Gezenbilir bilgi kaynağını daha iyi bir dizin haline getirebilmek için birkaç rica;
- Arandığında bilgiye kolay ulaşabilmek için farklı bir çok konuyu tek bir başlık altında tartışmak yerine veya konu başlığıyla alakalı olmayan sorularınızla ilgili yeni konu başlıkları açınız.
- Yeni bir konu açarken başlığın konu içeriğiyle ilgili açık ve net bilgi vermesine dikkat ediniz. "Acil Yardım", "Lütfen Bakar mısınız" gibi konu içeriğiyle ilgili bilgi vermeyen başlıklar geç cevap almanıza neden olacağı gibi bilgiye ulaşmayı da zorlaştıracaktır.
- Sorularınızı ve cevaplarınızı, kısaca bildiklerinizi özel mesajla değil tüm forumla paylaşınız. Bildiklerinizi özel mesajla paylaşmak forum genelinde paylaşımda bulunan diğer üyelere haksızlık olduğu gibi forum kültürünün kolektif yapısına da aykırıdır.
- Sadece video veya blog bağlantısı verilerek açılan konuların can sıkıcı olduğunu ve üyeler tarafından hoş karşılanmadığını belirtelim. Lütfen paylaştığınız video veya blogun bağlantısının altına kısa da olsa konu başlığıyla alakalı bilgiler veriniz.

Hep birlikte keyifli forumlar dileriz.
