Rising to 1,989 m (6,526 ft) above sea level, it forms part of the outer margin of the Has Highlands, which serve as a natural boundary between the two countries.
According to legend, the mountain is regarded as the burial place of Sarı Saltık, a revered Dervish holy figure. Each year on August 22nd, thousands of followers make the pilgrimage up to the summit in his honor.
