Paşaca Şelalesi, Natural waterfall in Yeşildere area of Görele, Giresun, Turkey.
Paşaca Şelalesi is a waterfall in the Yeşildere area of Görele in the Giresun region, where water cascades down steep rock faces amid thick forest in northeastern Turkey. The flow descends through dense vegetation, creating layers of water falling between the trees and boulders below.
The geological formation developed over thousands of years as water continuously carved through the rock layers of the mountainous landscape. This natural feature became woven into the regional traditions and narratives passed down through generations of local communities.
The place is known locally as Bride's Waterfall, linking the natural formation to traditional marriage stories shared among the surrounding communities.
The waterfall is located about 22 kilometers from Görele in a forest-rich area and is accessible with designated parking spots. Visitors should wear suitable footwear for uneven ground and time their visit when water flow is more abundant.
The water volume swells notably during spring months when snow melts from higher elevations, dramatically boosting the waterfall's flow. The surrounding forests provide year-round habitat for numerous bird species that bring activity to the landscape.
