Its story
The bridge is a stone arch bridge dated to the Karamanid period; its exact year of construction has not been recorded. It is about 81.6 meters long, and its largest arch span reaches 20 meters. Its name (bıçakçı: knife-maker) is said to come from a folk tale about a knife given as a gift to its master builder. A lovely stop for photography in the rocky landscape of the Göksu valley, the bridge is the responsibility of the General Directorate of Highways.
