A nature park declared in 2021, encompassing the Şeyhandede and Yabanardı waterfalls that pour over basalt columns.

Safety warning

There are slippery sections on the streambed and rocky ground; wear suitable shoes. Check transport and security conditions in the area with the local authorities (governorship/district governorate, gendarmerie) before visiting.

Its story

The area in the Şeyhan Valley southwest of Çermik was declared the Yabanardıl Şeyhandede Nature Park by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry on 7 December 2021. The park's symbol is the Şeyhandede Waterfall, which drops from a height of about 32 meters over basalt columns; the nearby Yabanardı Waterfall is impressive especially when its flow increases in the rainy seasons. Along the streambed connecting the two waterfalls, a walk of moderate difficulty is possible among old mill remains, small cascades and dense vegetation. Both waterfalls are on the long-distance King's Road (Kral Yolu) hiking route that passes through Diyarbakır.
