A caldera 4-5 kilometres wide formed near the current summit around 7500 BC, in an eruption recorded in Neolithic paintings.

Approximately six hours walk is required to climb to the top of the mountain, as it is not possible to drive up. At the summit of Mount Hasan, one is faced with a fabulous view over the central Anatolian plateau, including the distant Cappadocia.
