Another historically important mountain is Nemrut (in English, Nimrod) Mountain in southeastern Turkey, which is home to huge ruins of an ancient tomb built in 62 BC as well as damaged parts of statues which once stood 8 meters high. Also important is Uludağ, located in Bursa, famous throughout Turkey for its skiing opportunities as well as it's water. The southern part has the Taurus Mountains. Taurus Mountains (Turkish: Toros Dağları) are a mountain complex in southern Turkey, from which the Euphrates and Tigris descend.

Turkey has numerous mountains - it's a country where you can spend years trekking always in new places. The most popular treks are the Lycian way, Mt Erciyes, the Kackar mountains, Mt Suphan. Outstanding is Mt Ararat, partly because of its historical heritage, and perhaps more importantly as the highest mountain in Turkey with its 5167m.
