Some Impressions from Cappadokia

in #photofeed7 years ago (edited)

In 2012 I had the opportunity to make a journey to Turkey/Cappadokia for 10 days to make an article for a journey journal in Austria. Cappadokia is a very impressive landscape with a long history.

2 vulcanos created this aerea some million years ago with several serious eruptions which made a 150 meter high tuff bank spread over 100 km2.

since over 7000 years people live in this land and made hollow flats, villages (also until 60 meter underground) and in later times christian churches.
