点评:The Red Valley is one of several valleys just west of Goreme known for the lunar like landscape with Fairy Chimneys and other fantasy like rock and land formations with ancient cave rooms, homes and churches that you can climb into and explore. Most impressive for us was Column Church (Kolonlu Kilise). What makes the Red Valley different to its peers is the pinkish-red colours of the mineral rich tuff layers that makes the valley appear crimson colour during dusk and dawn.
You can visit Red Valley by way of taxi drop off at one of the viewpoints from which you can walk to Goreme. Alternatively, just walk there to/from the town centre. You can also combine with a walk through Rose Valley as a longer loop trail which is what we did during our recent stay in Cappadocia.
Our combined loop walk was around 15km (allow 4-5 hours), do make sure to download trail map app so that you can make sure you are staying on your desired path. There are numerous splinter trails throughout and so much that is interesting to see that it is easy to get distracted and find yourself off trail. There are a few spots within Red Valley where venders have setup make-shift cafes selling orange and pomegranate juice, lemonade and water. These make for good places to take rest breaks if you are planning a long day out. It was a great day hiking in Cappadocia.
翻译:红谷是格雷梅西部几个山谷之一,以其宛如月球表面的地貌而闻名,这里有仙女烟囱和其他奇幻的岩石和地貌,以及古老的洞穴房间、民居和教堂,您可以攀爬探索。最令人印象深刻的是柱式教堂(Kolonlu Kilise)。红谷与众不同之处在于富含矿物质的凝灰岩层呈现出粉红色,使得山谷在黄昏和黎明时分呈现出深红色。
您可以乘坐出租车前往红谷,在其中一个观景点下车,然后步行前往格雷梅。或者,您也可以步行往返市中心。您也可以将玫瑰谷的徒步路线与玫瑰谷的徒步路线结合起来,形成一条更长的环形步道,就像我们最近在卡帕多西亚停留时所做的那样。
我们的环形步道总长约15公里(大约4-5小时),请务必下载步道地图应用程序,以确保您沿着理想的路线行走。沿途遍布着许多蜿蜒曲折的小径,景色奇观丰富,很容易让人分心,最终偏离路线。红谷内有几处地方,商贩们搭建了临时咖啡馆,出售橙汁、石榴汁、柠檬水和矿泉水。如果您计划长途旅行,这些地方是休息的好地方。在卡帕多西亚徒步旅行的这一天真是太棒了。
