Pat Pat Safari on the Road to Aktaş and Sarıyayla Waterfall

We go to the ring road from Akçakoca center and turn right at the junction of Cumayeri promenade and come to Arabacı Village after 4 km. The road divides into two here as well, the right way to Aktaş waterfall, the road to the left goes to Sarıyayla waterfall. We start climbing by passing through the village of Koçullu, a local Turkish village. The road continues near Akçakoca drinking water treatment facilities. The road to Sarıyayla Waterfall, located at 12 km, continues as asphalt and reaches a height of 1000 meters. The residents of Sarıyayla, a highland village, go to the region in the spring months and leave in the winter. There is a Çamlı passage descent path for those who want to walk to the waterfall 500 meters after passing the wooden houses lined here. Nature lovers who want to consider this road as a trekking track should not miss the small sign that says waterfall. Those who continue the road by vehicle can go to the waterfall on the left after the bridge, and those who continue on the right can go to the tiny waterfalls and promenade places in the forest. It is possible to catch natural trout on the streambed, see small caves, and shower under the waterfall. Umbrella-wide leaves adorn rough plants, yellow and purple wildflowers. Hormone-free, mountain strawberries, which look like red beads on the ground and grow on their own, color your walk and sweeten your mouth. On the high hills, birds like hawks and falcons that come to breed in June are seen flying.
