10. Lake Tuz’s Sultan Heights Platform, Turkey
The Sultan Heights Platform, an architecturally remarkable observation platform giving guests an unparalleled view of Turkey’s second-largest lake, is Lake Tuz’s most amazing viewing spot. Rising sharply above the salt flats, this new viewing platform provides a 360-degree view of the pink lake. Although the platform offers modern viewing conveniences, its design features classic Turkish architectural details. The lake becomes a magnificent pink mirror in summer, when water levels are low and salt concentration is highest, so producing amazing photo possibilities. There are several observation levels at the viewing area, each providing an other viewpoint of the lake and the surroundings. Interactive exhibits clarify the lake’s critical importance for Turkey’s salt output as well as the environmental factors producing its unique tint. The facility is especially popular at sunset when the shifting light produces striking reflections over the lake’s surface. Local specialists offer guided trips that highlight the lake’s historical importance and relevance to local flora, especially for flamingo populations in migration.
