Guide

Güvende Yaylası lies at 2,260 metres in Kürtün district of Gümüşhane, in the eastern Black Sea, with Trabzon to the north and Giresun to the west.

The road from the district centre up to the plateau is concrete the whole way, which is unusual for a yayla and is the practical point the provincial directorate makes about it. People pitch tents there, light barbecues and brew tea.

The directorate describes the plateau as having rural tourism potential still waiting to be developed, and lists no facilities.
