Its story

Girmana Valley is in the Girmana neighborhood of the Hekimhan district, about 60 km from central Malatya. Notable for its steep slopes and terraced rock steps, the valley is presented as one of Malatya's little-known natural beauties, especially as its colors change at sunset. The valley has a recreation area and a walking path about 4 km long. For those seeking a nature walk away from the crowds, it can be combined with a visit to the Seljuk-period Hekim Han in Hekimhan.
