Eriklitepe Nature Park: Dance of Colors in Gölcük

Hello friends. In these days when autumn is making itself felt, the unique colors of nature called me to explore again. After taking care of my daily routine and having breakfast, I put a travel plan that I had been thinking about for a long time into action: Eriklitepe Nature Park in Gölcük district of Kocaeli.

Although I have visited many places in this beautiful district where I worked for about three years, Eriklitepe Nature Park was an undiscovered paradise for me. The idea of ​​walking in a forest where the trees are decorated with shades of brown, red and green in the last months of spring excited me and I set off immediately.

Time Journey in the Forest
The moment I stepped into Eriklitepe Nature Park, the calmness and peace of nature embraced me. In the last moments of spring, the forest had left the green of summer behind and given way to deeper tones. The serenity of brown, the warmth of red and the energy of green that still exists fascinated me with every step I took.

As I walked along the hiking trails, the gentle rustle of the leaves falling from the trees whispered into my ear like nature’s lullaby. When so much color and harmony came together, I felt like I was in a natural painting. I took photos non-stop to immortalize those moments. Because I wanted to preserve this riot of colors not only in my memories but also in photographs.

Photo Breaks and Silence
While walking in the park, I stopped frequently to look around. Silence was like a melody that soothed the soul. While my eyes were filled with the beauties offered by nature, finding a new photo frame at every corner made me very happy. Especially in the depths of the forest, the moments when the sun filtered through the tree branches created fascinating scenes with the play of light and shadow.

This trip was not only a physical walk for me, but also a mental detox. The tiredness of the day gave way to a refreshed mind. Being in such a peaceful environment made me feel like I was a part of nature.

Returning Again
Eriklitepe Nature Park is a paradise for nature lovers. Walking in this park, which offers different beauties in every season, especially in the last moments of autumn, was an indescribable experience. If you ever find yourself in Gölcük, do not return without spending a day in the peaceful nature of Eriklitepe. I am sure that you, like me, will enjoy being a part of this colorful dance offered by nature. I wish you all happy and healthy days. I wish you to be in touch with nature.
