Its story
It is recorded that there are eleven monumental tombs carved into rock masses in the Tikenlice neighborhood of the Gürgentepe district. The tombs are grouped in two separate rocky parts of the neighborhood; this point shows the eastern group, where seven tombs are lined up side by side. About 900 m to the west there is a second group consisting of three tombs. Although there is no comprehensive publication on their dates and to whom they belonged, they are counted among the traces of the region's settlement history going back to the pre-Christian and Pontic periods. They can be visited on the same day as the nearby Ohtamış Waterfall.
