Saklıkapı Canyon

Unleash Your Spirit in Saklıkapı Kanyonu - Türkiye's Hidden Wilderness Wonderland

Saklıkapı Canyon

Located within the boundaries of Akuşağı village in Elazığ's Baskil district, the "Saklıkapı Canyon" was formed by Sığdın Stream, a tributary of the Euphrates River. This natural wonder, with its karst formations and intriguing surface features, captivates all who see it. Among the rock blocks at the canyon floor, which have fallen from high cliffs, fossilized remains of marine life that lived millions of years ago have been discovered. The canyon stretches approximately 3,000 meters in length, with heights ranging from 5 to 150 meters and widths varying between 1 and 50 meters in places. With one end opening to the Euphrates River, the canyon provides a unique trekking route for adventure and nature enthusiasts and holds significant potential for alternative tourism and tourism diversity.
