Uyuz Lake, situated in the Kulu district of Konya, captivates visitors with its stunning natural beauty.
Located about 30 kilometers from Kulu near the Kömüşini neighborhood, Uyuz Lake also known as Kömüşini Lake offers a picturesque landscape that draws admiration from all who visit.
Declared a protected area in 1992 due to its role as a breeding ground for the Red-crested Pochard, the lake was later granted special conservation status. It has since become a popular spot for locals as well.
Nearby residents often visit the lake to harvest reeds from the surrounding marshes, while the agricultural lands in the area also benefit from the lake’s presence.
Positioned within the Konya closed basin and the sub-basin of Salt Lake, Uyuz Lake serves as an essential habitat for various bird species during migration periods.
Recent rainfall has further raised the lake’s water levels, enhancing its charm.
Visitors from nearby cities and districts such as Konya, Ankara, Kulu, Gölbaşı, Şereflikoçhisar, Bala, and Haymana come to relax and take advantage of the bird observatory established here, offering a perfect spot for birdwatching.
