Munzur Stream Valley
Emerging in the Ziyaret foothills of the Munzur Mountains north of Ovacık, connecting with Pülümür Stream and then flowing into Keban Dam Lake, the clear waters of Munzur cover a great distance within the province. Filled with fish, Munzur is fed by numerous streams; it flows fast, discharging into various gullies. The water’s temperature is 0-4 degrees (C) in winter and 18-20 degrees in summer. The segment between Ovacık and Tunceli features particularly beautiful landscape along the valley. A 20-kilometre section running between Aşağı Torunoba – Sarıtaş – Halbori Springs is great for rafting.
The water of Munzur Stream is a significant cultural value of Tunceli and considered sacred by Alevis.
