You step out of the minivan with the scent of sun-warmed pine and the distant hiss of water carving rock. Towers of limestone rise on either side of the Köprüçay, their faces scored by millennia of floods; below, emerald channels dare you closer. Guides rig ropes and explain lines while the 2,000‑year‑old Roman bridge watches from upstream — a quiet marker of human passage through a wild corridor.
