Bazalt Kayalıkları Tabiat Anıtı - Boyabat Sinop TR

a magnificent valley I will definitely see There was no security or attendant at the entrance It has a somewhat rough terrain. Seating and resting areas The road is asphalt

It's an impressive place like a movie set. We couldn't even imagine what this place would be like when the waterfall and dried up stream in it flowed. The wild cries of the birds of prey (I think it was the little vultures on the signs) flying in circles in the sky added a different atmosphere to the environment. Basalt columns feel like they will topple at any moment. Covered camellias have been built along the road to relax, the wooden railings are very beautiful. Good luck to those who made it. Easy to reach, unexplored, must-visit place. I am not a camper, but I would love to set up a tent for one night in such a place.

Entry and parking are free. The view of the waterfall and rocks is magnificent. There is a separate way to trek. I suggest you wear your shoes accordingly. Direction signs are missing. I hope it gets fixed.

It is located 16 km from Boyabat district center, and it is easy to access since the road is asphalt. There are signposts on the ground. The reason why they are called basalt cliffs is because they are similar in shape, but not because of their volcanic formation. It is thought to have formed in 4-5 million years by erosion by wind and water. After leaving your vehicle in front of the basalt skis, you should continue on foot. No clean water, you have to bring it with you. Those who come to picnic have to carry what they bring with them at least 500m. There is a camellia. Picnic can be done, but it is more suitable for trekking than picnic. There is a waterfall at the end of the cliffs, although the water is not much. Two bridges have been renovated but require more renovations. Those who came left their trash. Entry is free. However, a small fee may be charged at the entrance. With its income, better service can be provided. Those who like to walk and see the beauty of the natural formation can go.

I wonder when our people will realize the value of what they have. The municipality of Boyabat and a few institutions have made arrangements and beautifications on the paths leading to the rocks, but our people, who have not had their share of civilization, have turned the area into a sea of ​​garbage.. They even broke a few of the wooden railings on the sides.. We collected as much garbage as we could, but we were not enough. We need to realize that the best cleaning is not to pollute. As for the rocks; Just one of the endless beauties that our Lord has bestowed upon us. Although the waterfall in the region is lifeless due to the season, it is one of the must-see places in Boyabat.. It's 16 km away from the inside, but believe me, it's worth it.. Only the signage and directions are a bit lacking.. I hope Boyabat Municipality will be able to reach it easily..

The place was way above my expectations. First of all, the person who will come here should know that he will not only see ordinary rocks, but also that there are very rare rock formations, examples of which can be found in Ireland and northern countries in very few places in the world. Let me first start with my criticisms. Although this place became a monument in 2013, a little while ago, and was rearranged from scratch, it quickly turned into a neglected state. The bridge at the entrance was destroyed, the signboards with the explanations were erased if the sun was out, the garbage was scattered all over the place, the benches began to rot. I would at least expect the villagers to take better care of it, although I admit it was a bit of a crossover. As for the content, as I wrote in the introduction, these rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal rock pillars are rarely found in the world. On top of that, we also have a waterfall. Even in the middle of August, there was considerable water, when it was like a stair step, I went up to the top and watched the view and listened to myself. It was without a doubt the best discovery of my Western Black Sea trip. Honestly, I didn't even know such a place existed. That's why I say to those who pass by, you should definitely go and see them. Even if you don't fall, I say to those who love to travel, they should definitely drop their way here.

A great place. You can go through the village roads, but the road is not bad. No entry fee. There is quite a large hiking trail, but it is enough to walk for 10-15 minutes to reach these beautiful landscapes where basalt cliffs appear. Please do not pollute a neglected place.
