Mercan Valley

Mercan Valley, east of Ovacık, stands out with a clear stream fed by high mountains, rich vegetation and a rugged valley landscape. The northern sections are suitable for trekking, while the more forested areas offer potential for picnicking and camping; the area around Kırk Merdiven Waterfalls adds visual variety to the route.
