Wonderful waters like ice

Kuru Sinkhole Valley; It is a small valley of about 200 meters. In the valley, which is 14 km away from the center of Antalya in the town of Varsak, there are many lakes and rock burrows where wild animals and now some bird species live.

It would be very nice if a very beautiful natural canyon in the city, in the residential areas, was arranged as a city park in the future. it is worth seeing.

The nature was very beautiful in time ... Dsi'nin 1960s with the work of water disappeared. Besides its nature, the ruins of two thousand years are also beautiful. Even in summer there is water at the place where the sinkhole occurs and it is very, very dangerous. There's no chance of anyone leaving alone. Litter and beer bottles around. I hope it gets cleaned up and tourism.

A 200-meter short valley with a big pit. There are 2 large caves in this valley. The cave water source on the north side. The water coming out of it sinks down from the cave in the south after traveling a short distance. And after sailing underground, it comes back to the ground from where Düden Waterfall is poured. Of course, this resource is now dry. Its name is therefore Dry. It is a place to be seen. I recommend you to wear comfortable shoes as the land is hilly and ups and downs. Getting down to the valley base requires mountaineering skills. It is also forbidden and surrounded by wire mesh. Don't forget to take your water. NOTE: Circular closed pits formed by melting in calcareous land are called sinkholes. The sinkholes are channels that connect underground waters. The sinkholes are also given names such as water coming out of the public and sinking. Well formed by the dissolution of karstic materials by water or collapse of the cave ceiling in the karstic areas, reaching a depth of several meters to several hundred meters. Various sized, various sized bowls formed in karstic regions, where stones, layers that can melt with water such as limestone and gypsum, take up a large place. Düden is one of the equivalents of the term dolin in our language, although it changes according to its place. The word düden is common in many parts of our country. It is known that Düden has been used since ancient times. Some ditches similar to the sinkhole are also called obruk in our country. The sinkholes are of various depths. From a few meters to a few hundred meters deep. Some of the sinkholes were born directly from the melting of water and some from the collapse of the cave ceilings. The water accumulates in the dirt from the sinkholes and becomes a lake, which is called the sinkhole lake. Swallowing water. A funnel-shaped karst shape formed by the dissolution of limestone. Some lakes and streams are absorbed by sinkholes and form underground streams.

A very picturesque canyon with an underground river that has come to the surface and natural caves. You have to be careful going down. The place is somewhat run down and unkempt. Free admission.
