Gürleyen Canyon
Located within the borders of Hadim district and recognized among the most extraordinary canyons of Turkey, Gürleyen Canyon was discovered in 1999 by Konya Mountaineering Outdoor Sports Search-Rescue Club (KONDAK). Every year, activities are organized by mountaineering and outdoor sports clubs in Gürleyen Canyon which contains the fascinating beauties sought by canyon hikers. The presence of such a magnificent canyon in Konya, known as a flat plain, arouses great interest in visitors from outside the city and abroad.
Starting from Hadim Aşağı Mernek Neighborhood and ending near Yerköprü waterfall, the 12 km long canyon with moderate difficulty is one of the rare areas of the region that could remain with an untouched and unspoiled nature. Those who are looking for an alternative place for trekking and other activities are strongly recommended to see Gürleyen Canyon.
Photography and nature lovers will have the opportunity to see the visual feast of cherry, walnut, apple, and poplar trees, especially in autumn, as well as to procure and to taste the completely organic products grown by the villagers.
