Murat Dağı

Murat Dağı (or "Murat Mountain") is a mountain in western Anatolia, Turkey. It forms part of the border between Kütahya and Uşak provinces. It was known as Dindymos (Ancient Greek: Δίνδυμος) in ancient times. It is located at the convergence of three climactic zones, with a relatively wetter north side covered by beech forest and a relatively drier south side covered by oak forest.

Murat Dağı is located in the border zone between the Aegean and inner Anatolian regions. It forms the border between present-day Kütahya and Uşak provinces, with Kütahya province to the north and Uşak province to the south. Its general direction is northwest-southeast, and its highest point is the peak of Kartaltepe, at 2,309 m. Other peaks include Kırkpınar Tepe (2218 m),

Tınaz Tepe (2097 m), Çatmalı Mezar Tepe (1990 m), and Kazık Batmaz Tepe (1857 m). The mountain's terrain is generally rugged, but there are also some plateau areas on it. The Gediz River has its sources on the mountain.

There are two small wetlands in the area: Gölyeri, which dries up in summer, and Kuzugöl, a glacial lake.
