The other three hills are; Karatepe, Bacakli and Kızkulak Plateau. The forests all over the hills are known as the "Gümeli Forests". The scientific importance of the area and its surroundings is that the mountains represent anticlines and the depressions are formed by synclines.

Bölüklü Plateau is a temporary settlement where its hills and high slopes are used by families and villagers for livestock and accommodation during the summer months. Bölüklü Plateau is very suitable for animal husbandry, but agricultural activities are limited because the soil is not fertile enough. The higher parts of the plateau are generally cool in summer. The area is rich in herbaceous and woody plants. Therefore, they are very suitable areas for animals. Recently, thanks to the interaction of people, the area has gained a lot of importance in terms of summer tourism. Compared to other plateaus in Anatolia, Bölüklü Plateau is located in a forested area dominated by beech, fir and pine trees.
