Western Black Sea Region
Sandwiched between the densely forested mountains of Bolu Dag (1,829m/6,002ft) to the north and the Köroglu Daglari (2,378m/7,804ft) to the south, the provincial capital of Bolu is situated in the Bolu Ovasi, a small basin west of the Bolu Kargi depression. It is a busy town with timber processing, wool and leather manufacturing industries, and is plentifully supplied with timber from the adjacent mountains and with pastureland for raising livestock. It is also a major source of dairy produce for nearby Ankara and Istanbul, to which cities it is linked by a good fast road.
