00:00Welcome to Rize, on Turkey's northeastern coast, where the Black Sea meets the covered mountains, a hidden gem full of charm, beauty and adventure.
00:17This might be the perfect place to relax with a cup of chai, but as you can see from my outfit, I have something else in mind, an adrenaline rush. Let's go!
00:27Rize is Turkey's reign capital perfect for rafting, which I'm trying today.
00:36Goodbye! Goodbye! Yeah, happy!
00:40We are on the Fertena River, a truly unique stream that starts in the Kachkar Mountains and flows 57 km down to the sea.
00:50We have our top parkour. The top parkour is more adrenaline, we want to move on to the top parkour.
00:58The top parkour is more light, so they are slowly coming from the sea.
01:02The mountain sea is higher when the mountains are going to the sea.
01:07It's one of the longest rafting routes in the country and a top destination for frill seekers.
01:12To get an idea of what the water in this river is like, the word Fertena means storm.
01:20Danger! Back up!
01:25Let's go!
01:26With its crystal clear waters and fast-moving currents, the river offers an exhilarating experience for both beginners and seasoned rafters.
01:42Rafting here is unique, surrounded by lushy plantations and historic arched bridges.
01:59Good boy! Very good! Very good!
02:04Each rapid becomes a thrilling team effort, building trust and excitement.
02:10I've just taken on the wild rapids of the Fertena River. What a rush!
02:29But I'm not done yet. Now I'm going to take in the scenery from another angle.
02:36Let's go!
02:37Zip lining lets you glide above the river, taking the valley's stunning landscapes from an entirely new perspective.
02:47But this is not the only way to experience the Fertena Valley.
02:50one thing's for sure, no one comes here and lives disappointed. There's fun for all ages. Even grown-ups want to feel like kids.

03:12There's fun for all ages, even grown-ups want to feel like kids.
03:27I've explored what the river has to offer.
03:30Now it's time to discover its surroundings and for me there's no better way than with a good run.
03:37This region is a paradise for trail runners.
03:40No wonder it's been home to an ultra-marathon since 2015
03:45and starting this year it's part of the UT&B circuit where the world's top trail runners compete.
03:51We are at the foot of Mount Kachkar, a breathtaking peak with an elevation of 3937 meters.
04:00These trails went through alpine-style peaks and lush forests offering a challenge like no other.
04:07Running here is truly special.
04:10The Kachkar mountain range is a growing favourite among nature lovers.
04:25From wild rivers to dizzying heights and mountain trails,
04:28Rize has pushed my limits and taken my breath away.
04:31It's a place that challenges you but leaves you changed for the better.
04:34Gorushurus!
