A geothermal area 5 km south of Diyadin, spread along the Murat River valley, known for hot springs exceeding 70 °C and a natural travertine bridge over the river.

Safety warning

The spring water is very hot; do not touch open springs or travertine edges, and do not leave marked areas. Travertine surfaces can be slippery.

Its story

The Diyadin Hot Springs, about 5 km south of the district center, consist of the Yılanlı, Davut, Tunca, Köprü and Özdenler springs lined up along the valley carved by the Murat River. The temperature of these springs, where groundwater associated with Tendürek volcanism rises to the surface, measures between 60 and 78 °C; the waters contain bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, calcium and carbon dioxide. The deposits of the Köprü spring have formed a natural bridge (köprü) over the Murat River, from which the spring takes its name. In the district, the Murat River also carves a canyon winding between high rock walls, promoted as the Diyadin Canyon. The white travertine terraces, steaming springs and river views offer interesting photo opportunities, especially in cold weather.
