Erzurum Hınıs Başköy Barajı | Doğanın Huzuru • Başköy Dam | Peaceful Nature

On Saturday, September 20, 2025, we trace a journey that begins in the village of Çağlar, Tekman, Erzurum, in the ancient lands surrounded by the high mountains of Eastern Anatolia . This path is not merely a journey through geography; it is also a journey of memory that unites the past and the present . Our route includes settlements with distinct textures, such as Kazancık village in Tekman, Şalgam village in Hınıs, then Kazancı village, Başköy, the Başköy Dam, and Ortaköy . Each one embodies the silent stories of Anatolia , centuries old . Stone-walled houses, wind-blown grass, and villagers greeting with tearful eyes. These lands bear the traces of both a culture that has resisted time and a changing world. Now, let us listen to these silent testimonies together. The road will carry us from the depths of the past to the shores of today. Kazancık village has a history stretching back centuries. Registered as Memo in 1901 , the village is located 73 km from Erzurum city center and 24 km from Tekman district center. It’s approximately 2,300 meters above sea level and, along with the surrounding villages, is a center of agriculture and animal husbandry. Our first stop on our route was Tekman’s Kazancık village. Here, we ran into familiar faces we hadn’t seen for years. We shared some longings, we asked each other how things were. A short conversation with friends sometimes leaves a deeper impression on us than a long journey. Now, we’re leaving these beautiful memories behind and continuing our journey towards Hınıs . Yes. Now , we’ll head up this slope , God willing. But the road is good, right? Good, good. Not bad. If you go a little slower , thank God our car is high; we’re swinging a lot.
