Red Valley Trail and Rock Formations

Nice trail along the Red Valley. Partly shaded paths and halfway is a small café where you can get water. Great panoramic views at the top.

Path is sometimes narrow and with ladders, surefootedness is required.

Rose Valley (Güllüdere Vadisi)

Quirky rock formations, hidden churches in the rocks, beautiful teahouses. No special skills required, you can walk through the valley with children.

Cobbled Path in Alanya

I discovered this trail myself thanks to satellite imagery! Yes, discoveries in the 21st century. Put on OSM.

This is an amazing paved path in a beautiful forest and gorge. …

Rose Valley Panorama Trail

I floated through this valley in a hot air balloon and, for once, I didn't hike.

The impressions from above were phenomenal ....

Dimçayı Waterfall

The waterfall itself is not so spectacular now. The short walk takes you through a gorge along rocks and waterfalls. You have to take in the many tourists. The route itself is beautiful, unfortunately completely exhausted for tourism.

Roman Bridge over the Köprüçay (Eurymedon)

A wonderfully preserved Roman arch bridge over the Canyon of Köprücay, the historic Eurymedon, which is still in use.

It is still the only connection in the mountains to Altinkaya (hist. Selge).
