Mercan Mountains

The eastern heights of the Mercan Mountains overlook the valleys of Ovacık and the Pülümür. Their broken limestone summits rise above deep gorges, mountain lakes and the swift waters of the Mercan stream. High meadows lie beneath the snowfields, and waterfalls descend through narrow valleys. These mountains form part of the rugged country that separates Erzincan from the interior of Dersim.
