Its story
The Ulukaya Waterfall is about 17 km from the Ulus district, near the village of Ulukaya, from which it takes its name. In a canyon about 1 km long and 35 meters deep, the water emerging from a rock hollow 10 meters wide falls 20 meters and joins the Ulus Çayı (Ulus Stream), forming a wide pool. The waterfall is within the boundaries of the Küre Mountains National Park; it was declared a natural protected site in 1998 and a sensitive area to be strictly protected in 2020. Because of a mythological love story, it is also called 'the Waterfall that Soothes Heartache'.
