<\/span><\/p>\nWhat Can I Do at Upper D\u00fcden Waterfall?<\/h2>\n
Upper D\u00fcden Waterfall is also called “Alexander Falls”. It’s said that Alexander the Great, who conquered Pamphylia between 334-333 BC, gave water to his horses while passing through this region.<\/p>\n
This recreation spot is preferred by those who want to get away from the city center and find peace in nature. The pleasure of visiting the waterfall on a hot day is always welcome.<\/p>\n
There are places for observing picturesque panoramas, as well as restaurants and cafes. You can find plenty of restaurants on the both sides of the lake. It’s also possible to bring your own food and enjoy in the picnic areas. It is very refreshing to have a picnic by the creek and to soak your feet in the water to cool off.<\/p>\n
Picturesque Views From the Caves<\/h3>\n
The caves behind the waterfall are very interesting formations. The cavities of the caves are like a window that offers a beautiful view. You can even pass under where the waterfall flows. Do not forget to watch the waterfall from the cave behind the flowing water. Sometimes in the caves you have to bend down and they can be quite humid. Therefore, it’s important to be careful not to slip.<\/p>\n
Upper D\u00fcden Waterfall is located in the Varsak District, within the boundaries of Kepez District.<\/p>\n The source of the D\u00fcden River is a series of karst springs, united under the general name K\u0131rkg\u00f6zler and are located around the 30th kilometer of the old Antalya-Burdur road. Their waters collect in one stream and are directed through channels to the turbines of the hydroelectric power stations in Kepez and then through an artificial canal passing through the city from west to east, where they reach a place called D\u00fcdenba\u015f\u0131. The old riverbed starts there and is where Upper D\u00fcden waterfall is located.<\/p>\n The regulator, built in front of B\u0131y\u0131kl\u0131 sinkhole, directs the K\u0131rkg\u00f6zler and P\u0131narba\u015f\u0131 waters into the canal to the Kepez hydroelectric power plant, where the pressure pipe transfers them to the equilibrium funnel and lowers it through the plant\u2019s turbine. In D\u00fcdenba\u015f\u0131, water again flows from a long-channel discharge unit, where it forms artificial cascades. From here, the amount of water forms a large river. Seven irrigation ditches distribute water to land northeast of Antalya.<\/p>\n The area where Upper D\u00fcden Waterfall is located was turned into a picnic and recreation area by the DS\u0130 between 1970 and 1972.<\/p>\n![\"upper](\"https:\/\/antalyatouristinformation.com\/d\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/upper-dueden-waterfalls-in-antalya.jpg\" "\\"upper")
