Guide
Acelle Yaylası is a highland pasture in the Akyazı district of Sakarya, about 1,200 metres above sea level. Its area is thirteen hectares, though officially it is recorded as 1.16.
Broadleaved and coniferous trees grow together around the pasture, with box, rhododendron, morels, chanterelles and bracket fungi among them.
The Enişte stream, which runs through the middle of the pasture, forms a natural lake in the central part. Called Büyükdeniz locally, the lake is between a hundred and two hundred metres wide and 1,200 metres long. The villages of Hanyatak, Taşyatak and Boztepe in Akyazı use the pasture in common.
