(Translated by Google) Lovers Ferhat and Shirin (Original) Влюбленные Ферхат и Ширин
(Translated by Google) Ferhat is a young lad who works as a miniaturist. The Sultan of Amasya sends a suitor to Mehmene Banu for his sister Şirin. The Sultan refuses to give his sister away. To distract Ferhat, he demands that he drill through Elma Mountain and bring water to the city. Ferhat, driven by love, begins drilling mountains. Mehmene Banu sends her elderly nanny to Ferhat, who is about to complete the channel for the water to flow through the mountain, and delivers the news of Şirin's death. Hearing this, Ferhat throws his hammer, but it hits his head and he dies there. Hearing this news, Şirin goes to the cliff where Ferhat died and throws herself off. They are buried side by side in cemeteries. Rumor has it that a red rose still blooms on one of these graves, and a white one on the other. Just as they are about to be reunited, bushes grow between them, preventing them from meeting. The story goes like this. It's located on Elma Mountain, visible from the road. You can visit it for free. (Original) Ferhat nakkaşlık yapan genç delikanlıdır.Amasya Sultanı Mehmene Banu ya kız kardeşi Şirin için dünürcü gönderirir.Sultan, kız kardeşini vermek istemez. Ferhat'ı oyalamak için Elma Dağı'nı delip şehre su getirmesini şart koşar. Ferhat, aşkla dağları delmeye başlar. Mehmene Banu, dağı delip suyun akacağı kanalı tamamlamak üzere olan Ferhat'ın yanına yaşlı dadısını göndererek, Şirin'in öldüğü haberini ulaştırır. Bunu duyan Ferhat üzüntüsünden elindeki çekici atmış ama kafasına saplanmış ve orada ölmüş. Bu haberi duyan Şirin, Ferhat’ın can verdiği kayalıklara gelmiş ve kendini aşağıya atarak ölmüş. İkisini de yan yana mezarlıklara gömmüşler. Söylentiye göre hala o mezarların birinde kırmızı birinde beyaz gül açarmış ve tam kavuşacakken aralarında çalılar çıkar buluşmalarını engellermiş. Hikayesi bu şekilde.Elma dağında bulunuyor yol üstünden de gözüküyor ,ücretsiz gidip görebilirsiniz.
