Kapuzbaşi Şelaleleri

Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls, five large and two small, cascade side by side in a row, with average heights of 40-60 meters, and each is powerful enough to feed a stream. Kapuzbaşı Waterfall, which is considered the second highest waterfall in the world, virtually enchants those who see it. In terms of altitude flow, except for Victoria Falls in Uganda, Kapuz başı Waterfall is larger than Niagara in the USA, Imatra in Finland, Tortum in Erzurum, Düden in Antalya, and Manavgat, and the elevation of the place where it flows is 700 meters.

Where Are Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls?

Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls are located at Ensenin Tepesi, north of Küçükçakır Köyü in Yahyalı District of Kayseri. They are 55-65 kilometers from Yahyalı district. Transportation is provided by two separate roads. The entire road providing access to Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls, which have natural beauties at the top of the Taurus Mountains, has been asphalted. The waterfall, which used to be reached in three hours, can now be reached in 1,5 hours.

Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls are among the largest waterfalls in our country because their waters flow strongly throughout the year and because of their great height. Seven waterfalls flowing side by side from the mountain slopes as if racing with one another are among the unique beauties nature has gifted to Kayseri.

The snow-white flowing Kapuzbaşı waterfalls, with picnic areas around them, create a perfect setting for spending a beautiful day accompanied by the peaceful, relaxing sound of the water.. The waterfalls on the most popular trekking route in Kayseri offer a walking experience accompanied by unique views.

In the area there are seven waterfalls, five large and two small, reaching heights of 40 to 80 meters, each powerful enough to feed a stream. In addition, 7 kilometers from the district, Derebağ Kesteliç Waterfall, with a magnificence that will enchant those who see it, is a natural wonder that will impress those who wish to see it.

Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls are within the borders of Aladağlar National Park. The waterfall is one of the most beautiful stopping points on the Aladağlar trekking route. Groups completing the Aladağlar crossing between Adana and Kayseri in 5 days set up camp and stay right next to Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls on the 4th day. The area, which is 2 thousand meters above sea level, should be visited in the summer months. In Kapuzbaşı, Aladağ and Aksu streams pouring from a height of 70 meters and from 7 different points create a magnificent view. Because the flow rate is very high, water droplets spread over a very wide area and create a pleasant feeling of coolness in the summer months.
