Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls
Kapuzbaşı Şelaleleri
A cluster of waterfalls bursting from a cliff at the foot of the Aladağ Mountains, billed as the world's second-highest rock-wall spring waterfall, with seven falls side by side.
The Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls are located on the eastern foothills of the Aladağ Mountains in Yahyalı district, south of Kayseri. Seven waterfalls gush straight out of a limestone cliff about 70 m high and fall into a tributary of the Zamantı River. The tallest, Elif Waterfall, is the most spectacular and is among Turkey's best-known waterfalls. Trails, wooden bridges and riverside restaurants serving grilled trout are found in front of the falls. It lies about 110 km from Kayseri, roughly two hours by mountain road, and is usually visited as a day trip, with a possible stop at Dereboğazı Nature Park along the way. Water flow peaks during the spring snowmelt.
