Nature enthusiasts show great interest in the waterfall. Especially on Saturdays and Sundays, especially the waterfall, long car queues are formed. Some citizens prefer to have a picnic in the forest or in the creek, while some citizens are walking, some citizens are cooling down in ice water by entering the lake under the waterfall. Transportation to Gölalan Waterfalls are reached by Gölelan waterfalls on the old Samsun-Asarcık highway via Gölelan Village, which is close to the center of Samsun. Transportation is asphalt. It is a new concrete road after a certain place. Our destination is 18 kilometers from Samsun city center. The road takes about half an hour. I would like to give you a brief information about the history of Samsun with the road view. Our way is a little long. Let's start with Samsun first. The origin of the name of Samsun comes from the Luwis, the first settlers of Anatolia, like other Anatolian cities. The “sauce” jewelry at the end shows us. It is a Luwian name in Amisos, such as Efesos, Halicarnassos, Iasos, etc. In the 12th century Turkish sources, the name is mentioned as Samsun. In foreign sources of the same period, the name of the city was recorded as SAMPSON. It is estimated that both Samsun and Sampson evolved from Amisos. The first community settled in Samsun, whose settlement history dates back to 60,000 BC, was the scratches that came here between 5000-3500 BC. After the Kashka, the city, which lived the Hittite period, was seized and destroyed by 1182 Phrygians. In the 7th century BC, the Miletus established various colonies in the Black Sea with their increasing population and Samsun. For the first time in Samsun, it has developed rapidly commercially. Approximately 90 Miletus colonies on the Black Sea coast have not yet risen to the level of the emporion. In 546 BC, Kroisos of Lydia Kroisos and the Persian Emperor II. After the war between Kiros, almost all of Anatolia and the city came under Persian rule. Following the Persians, in 331 BC, the Macedonian Emperor Alexander the Great was dominated by Macedonian in the city with the defeat of the Persians Gaugamela Battle. Then Rome became a Genoese colony with the loss of Rome's power. Samsun entered the Ottoman rule in 1422 and remained as Turkish land since then. Samsun, which dates back to the establishment of Turkey and started with the start of the process that started with Mustafa Kemal's exit to Samsun on May 19, 1919, is known as the "19 May City" and 19 May Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day It is home to. I'm telling them, but so you don't get bored on the road. After this brief historical information, let's come to the Gölalan Waterfall. Underlining that the Gölalan Waterfall is a natural beauty, the citizens say the following. “This is a very beautiful and pleasant place. Many people come here and find peace. Still, many people don't know this place. In fact, this place needs to be known more. I believe that if the necessary promotions are made, more visitors will come. We also ask for help from the authorities to make landscaping. People must see this place. And if you coincide with the time there is not too much people, then you will enjoy more. Here, the image of the waterfall and even the sound of water is enough to attract people. ” Cherry trees, its nature and center with centuries -old cypress trees in Samsun Gölalan Village is home to these waterfalls. Waterfalls are located on the creek bed near the village of Gölalan. You need to go down on a pedestrian to the valley at close range and walk along the creek. Since it will be necessary to pass through the stream from time to time, you should pay attention to the topic of clothing and shoes. Waterfall is very close to the village. The majesty of the water flowing from about 10 m and the big rocks around him are looking for photographic enthusiasts. It must be another taste of life to enter and cool down this stream and pond, which is clean and clear. Above the creek, there is a large area where you can park your car. From here you can go down to the creek and move to the waterfall and the pond by moving through the creek or side. I recommend you to enjoy this place during the day. Don't forget to bring your food, drink, table and chair when you come here alone. There is no facility where you can get service here. There are those who put a table and chair into the creek and have a picnic along the creek. Next to the creek, there are people who make barbecues again. Music by Oleksii Kaplukskyi from Pixabay.
