While on approach to AVL I was the pilot flying. We were cleared for the Visual approach for Runway 34. During the descent; we got the 'TERRAIN' aural warning from the GPWS; followed by 'PULL UP' and two 'whoops.' I evaluated our position above the terrain; determined that we probably got close to a mountain peak that we flew over and applied power to level off; and re-intercept the glide path. The flight continued without incident.At the time of incident; I wasn't expecting or anticipating a GPWS warning; and thought that we were in a viable position to approach and land; the visibility was 10+.
An Air Carrier First Officer leveled off following GPWS 'PULL UP' and 'TERRAIN' warnings while turning final on a visual approach to AVL Runway 34.
