The story

Mudurnu Silk Road Culture Art and Tourism Festival in Mudurnu

The Mudurnu Silk Road Culture Art and Tourism Festival celebrates this well-preserved Ottoman-era town in Bolu province, historically positioned on an old Silk Road trade route, known for its timber townhouses, felt-making craft tradition, and locally grown chickpeas, with a program of craft demonstrations, folk music, and regional food.

Mudurnu sits in Bolu province at a crossroads that historically connected it to Silk Road-era caravan trade moving across Anatolia, a geographic legacy that shaped the town's development as a stopping point of some regional importance under Ottoman rule.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Mudurnu is a member of the international Cittaslow slow city network, a designation recognizing towns that preserve traditional character, local food production, and a human-scale pace of life against rapid urbanization, and its historic center retains rows of restored Ottoman timber houses that give the town a museum-like quality still lived in by residents

02

The mystery stays covered

Its position on an old branch of Silk Road-era trade routes connects it to a wider Anatolian caravan history, while its felt-making tradition, keçecilik, remains an active local craft rather than a purely historical reference, giving a festival built around this heritage tangible, still-practiced culture to showcase
