Geocache Description:

Cache is situated on the edge of crater in the high of 2615m. You can reach it easily by car and short walk.

Mt. Nemrut is near Tatvan, a small town in the eastern Anatolian province of Bitlis. The mountain rises from the southwestern shore of Lake Van, and enters the district of Ahlat to the north.
It is 3,050 m (10,007 ft) high and its elliptic caldera has a diameter of about 7 by 8 km (4 by 5 mi). The western part of the caldera contains a large coldwater crater lake about 155 m (509 ft) deep. There is also a small warm lake whose temperature reaches 60 °C (140 °F), providing evidence of continuing volcanic activity.

Cache is well hidden in rock. Use fotohint.

Small note on cache maintenance: There is a local cache guardian who will assist.
