Terrain, waters and landscape

Waters

Pürçükören Stream increases its flow rate especially in spring with the effect of melting snow, forming small waterfall-like structures in the valleys of Ovacık. Thanks to the humid microclimate around it, it allows rare plant species to grow. You can visit the Harita section to examine the valley followed by the stream. It is one of the untouched micro-basins within Karabük.
