History of Atkaracas

Military fish, which we will give details under atkaracalar high school of places to visit, are one of the prominent touristic beauties of this district. If you plan a trip to Çankırı, make sure to make time for Atkaracalar district. There is a station belonging to the district center on Zonguldak Çankırı Railway.

The answer to the question of where the Atkaracas got their name from the locals is generally the following story; Returning to the Center from the Baghdad Campaign, Sulan IV. Murat establishes a headquarters for rest in the Barren Plain. Upon learning that their sultan is in the region, the people go to the sultan with the cavalry soldiers. Iv. When Murat sees the people who come with the cavalry, the trustee cannot hide his surprise and asks, having seen soldiers in the area; "Is there a military unit here?". One of the elders of the local people answers the sultan; "Haqqah, my great sultan, is the people of Karaca who live here. But we are good at horse breeding." Upon hearing this, Murat IV wants to change the name of the region and edict his new name as "Atkaracalar".

It is also a reminder for them. Since then, every time they attempt to do so, they change their horses in the Atkaracas. The history of Atkaracalar district, which does not contain very fertile soils because it does not have a seashore, does not go back to the very old ones for the same reason. Following the proclamation of the Republic, it became a municipality in 1927.

The people of Atkaracalar generally make a living from agriculture and livestock, and especially cattle farming and sheep breeding are of great importance for the local people who have insufficient agricultural opportunities.

Atkaracalar Attractions List

Tomb of Pleasants: The tomb, which is located at the foot of Dumanlı Mountain and is located 3 kilometers between the district center and the district center, also has a mosque, guesthouse, dining hall and fountain. If you have reached the district by rail, you can visit the shrine, which is built on a green area just across the road from the station where you landed. For those who are curious about the nature of the tomb, let's elaborate; The tomb where Pir Hamza Sultan, who emigrated from the Khorasan region, is buried is important because of the contributions made by this important person to the region. Pir Hamza Sultan was buried next to the Friday Masjid he built in the Atkaracalar region to gather the scattered people, and the people of the district built the mosque you see today next to this mosque.

Fish Lake: If you are doing your Atkaracalar exploration route inspired by our summer of hotelforex.com Atkaracalar hotels, you will reach Ilipınar Village and The Fishy Lake, which is the subject of legends in this village, when you turn right from the road to the north immediately after the Tomb of The Pleasants. The pool is 1000 meters above sea level and is 70 cm deep, surrounded by stone walls. From the large pool to the small pool, a channel system is connected from the bottom, and the fish can switch between the pools thanks to this channel. The difference of Ilipınar Baliklı Lake from other fish lakes in our country is that the fish in these two pools are one green and the other in black. It is also claimed that pool water is good for psoriasis and fungal diseases. You can unwind with a coffee or fruit tea in the country coffee located right on the edge of the pool.

Caves: Immediately after Ilipınar Village, there are caves in The Smoky Plateau, which we think will be of particular interest to hiking and history lovers, which you can reach after a 1 hour walk with a slow pace. Some cave entrances are closed as no archaeological work, official research has yet been completed. You can enter the caves that are open, and perhaps you can reach the answers you are looking for in these caves on your history journey.
