Yerköprü

Yerköprü is one of the most different and unique natural beauties of Karaisalı. The waters accumulated by the landslide on Çakıt River melted the chalky layer and flowed underground, thus forming a natural bridge. Yerköprü got its name from the combination of the words Ground  (yer) and Bridge (köprü) in this way. What makes Yerköprü even more special is that large and small springs bursting from everywhere spill over the Çakıt River from here as waterfalls. In short, it would be correct to say about Yerköprü that there is water above the water.

When you go to Yerköprü, we definitely recommend you to go to the observation terrace and see the Çakıt Stream sinking under the ground, then go 300 meters in the other direction and watch the river emerge from the ground this time. As you walk, you should feel that an important branch of the Seyhan River, a huge river, is flowing under you.

When you go downstream from Yerköprü along Çakıt River, the southern entrance of Kapıkaya Canyon is reached. This is a 7 km long, fun and scenic walking track, built with the support of Çukurova Development Agency.
