200 years ago by the villagers
and the only one still operating. It
is near the plant tunnel, right next
to the waterfall.
Kurshunlu is a natural landscape,
with its healthy forest and
examples of rich flora combined
with interesting water and rock
forms. The park mainly hosts
Turkish pines and sycamores
along with laurels, carobs, wild
olives, gumtrees, willows, and fig
trees. Myrtle, hawthorn, rosebay,
euphorbia, tamarisk, spruce,
oak, oregano, wild mint, fern,
and ivy create the sub-flora in
the area. Hemlocks, in other
words the Lebanese Seders, are
one of the values of the park.
These trees, which could live up
to 1000 years, are among our
heritage trees along with the
yew trees, sycamores, oak, and
juniper trees. Among the plants
(above water plants) of the in the
area are buckthorn, water mint,
grass, green algae, and (floating
plants) water lilies. Wild hogs,
foxes, rabbits, squirrels, bats,
woodpeckers, turtledoves, crabs,
cyprinids, sea turtles, dogs,
snakes, and lizards form the
fauna of the park.
Kurshunlu might not be as big or
as striking as Düden or Manavgat
waterfalls in the Antalya region,
but this small waterfall deserves
the attention with its enchanting
ambiance. Kurshunlu creates a
cool and memorable get away
from the hot days of Antalya. The
flying drops of water leaves you
with a smile on your face as you
return back to the city.
