Suppitassu, which is the only Hittite Lake in SİVAS, is located on the skirts of Kulmaç Mountain at an altitude of about 1900. The lake, which belongs to the historical Hittite city SARISSA, is known as a sacred lake where the King comes and worships every spring.
It is also known that this lake is the resting place of migratory birds that come and go in Spring and Autumn. It is stated that especially the crane trains stay here for a while in the spring and stop by here again in the autumn before they migrate.
Located at the foot of the mountain, this lake is considered important by the local people. It is stated that the moonless nights are magnificent in this lake, which takes on a different beauty especially at night.
On the upper side of the lake is the KING ROAD at an altitude of 2021, while on the west side there is a temple that was discovered but not excavated.
While there is no study on bringing it to Cultural Tourism, it is known that this untouched lake attracts the attention of many travelers.
The lake, which is within the boundaries of Altınyayla District, is approximately 1 hour away from the center of Sivas.
