Mençuna Waterfall
Arhavi, Artvin
A high waterfall in the Kamilet Valley, reached by a suspension bridge and a short forest walk on stone steps, forming a small pool below.
Safety warning
Its story
The waterfall is reached from Arhavi by entering the Kamilet Valley, crossing the historic Çifte Köprü and following the road along the stream. At the last point reachable by car, you leave the vehicle and cross a suspension bridge; then you climb through dense forest on a steep path of more than 400 stone steps, taking about 20 minutes. The water pours from a high rock wall into the valley, forming a small pool below; it is a place to cool off in summer. The flow is highest in April–May, while the snowmelt continues. Its name derives from a Laz word meaning 'shareholder'. The path is maintained every year.
