Spring Boosts Flow at Türkiye’s Tortum Waterfall
Tortum Waterfall in Erzurum’s Uzundere district, one of Türkiye’s top natural landmarks, is experiencing a surge in water flow with the arrival of spring. Snowmelt from nearby mountains is raising the level of Tortum Lake, increasing the waterfall’s volume.
Local shopkeeper Ömer Faruk Özgelen said, “The lake is filling, and our waterfall will soon be overflowing.” The site, popular with tourists and photographers, is expected to attract more visitors in the coming weeks, boosting regional tourism.
