Kurşunlu Waterfall, Natural cascade formation in Kurşunlu Waterfall Nature Park, Turkey.
Kurşunlu Waterfall is a cascade in Aksu, Turkey, where water drops over layered limestone into a forested basin. The flow forms a curtain that threads through pine and Mediterranean plants, feeding small pools below.
Turkish authorities established a nature park around the cascade in 1991, protecting 586 hectares of forest. That step secured the area from development and preserved the natural setting for future visitors.
Local residents gather at designated picnic spots near the waterfall during weekends to share traditional meals and spend time with family members.
Access runs along a seven-kilometer road branching from the Antalya–Serik–Alanya highway. Sturdy shoes help on forest paths, which can be damp and uneven in places.
In summer, the flow drops sharply and exposes the rock that shaped the tiers and pools. That drop reveals the layering of limestone and makes the geology of the site easier to read.
