The Valla Canyon (Valla Kanyonu) is located 20 km away from the Pınarbaşı District of Kastamonu. It starts at the crossroad of the Devrekani River and the Kanlıçay River and proceeds 12 km towards Cide where cliffs are varying between 800-1300 meters in height. The canyon can be reached after passing a 15 km long road through the forests. As it is dangerous, it is required to acquire permission, and take a professional guide, and special equipment to pass the canyon.
