Gudul‎ Travel Information:

Gudul is a quiet rural town and district of Ankara Province in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey, 90 km north-west of the city of Ankara, off the motorway to Istanbul.
There is some agriculture and the crops include hot peppers and chick peas, which are dried and sold as leblebi.
Research shows occupation since prehistoric times, and caves along the river Kirmir contain stone workings apparently by the Hittites (2000 BC). Later the area was occupied by Phrygians, Ancient Romans and Byzantines (one of the caves has a carved cross from the early spread of Christianity under Roman rule).
In 1071, the Byzantine armies were defeated by the Turks at the battle of Malazgirt, and soon afterwards all of central Anatolia came under Turkish control.
Places of interest:The lake and forest near the village of Sorgun, north of Gudul. The caves in the valley of the Kirmir.
