Yanık is one of the largest highland pastures in Sakarya, in the Taraklı district. It is well watered, with a correspondingly dense plant cover, and it suits walking and hill climbing.
There are yayla houses on the pasture, and it lies fifteen to twenty minutes from the Acelle pasture, so the two can be combined in a single outing.
