Hadim Attractions

130km/80mi south of Konya lies the regional center of Hadim. A passable road runs eastwards for 39km/24mi to a spot known as Yerköprü (bridge) near the administrative center of Aladag. Near Yerköprü and a small hydro-electric power station the powerful karst spring of the Karasu, a tributary of the Göksu Nehri (Kalykadnos), has formed a natural calcareous tuff barrage in the valley of the main river and this causes the Göksu Nehri to disappear underground into a 500m/600yd long cave. Of special interest are the 20m/65ft waterfalls at the entrance and exit to the cave through which the stream rushes from the travertine bridge into a small lake formed by the Göksu Nehri.
