Sansarak Canyon & Waterfall

7 kilometers of river canyon and natural rock pools located near Sansarak Village.

How to read this monument?

Sansarak Canyon brings together streams, forests and rocky passages for those who want a different day from the historical center of Iznik. The trail should not be considered as an urban walk: water levels, mud and fallen trees can increase the difficulty depending on the season. The value of the canyon is not only the physical route, but its relationship with the village of Sansarak and the surrounding rural landscape.

Don't miss

01

Observe the small pools and rock formations in the stream bed from safe points.

02

Pay attention to light, vegetation and microclimate changes within the forest.

03

Respect private property and local life as you traverse the village fabric.

04

If the water level rises after rain, do not enter the track.
