Guide
Çatalçam is an Anatolian black pine in the boundaries of Belence village, in the Sütçüler district of Isparta, and it was declared a natural monument on 21 April 1995. The directorate gives its age as 650 to 700 years — a range rather than a figure, which is honest for a tree that has not been cored — and measures it at 22 metres tall, 1.88 metres across the trunk and 5.90 metres in girth.
Of the Isparta monument trees this one is set up for the most visitors: capacity is given as 60 people and five vehicles, against a dozen or fewer at most of the others, on a protected plot of a quarter of a hectare. Opening hours are 08:30 to 17:30.
