I think Nüzhetiye Waterfall in Gölcük comes first among the waterfalls close to Istanbul.. When I see the pictures of Nüzhetiye Waterfall, I have a great desire to go.. It’s green, like photos of South America, not Turkey.. When you look at places to visit in Kocaeli, places to see in Kocaeli, you will see its name at the top.. It’s time to write the Nüzhetiye Waterfall hiking trail that I watched in the last Damla commercials.. Then let me start my adventure at Nüzhetiye Waterfall, which is easy for me, but it devours me.

You can reach the village by following the Nüzhetiye signs by following the Ford Otosan turn on the right or the Bahçecik turn a little further on, on the Istanbul – Yalova D-100 road, heading towards Yalova.. If you meet someone and ask How to get to Nüzhetiye Waterfall?, they will show you anyway.. You can reach the village, which is 19 km from the center of Izmit, in half an hour from Izmit and in about 1.5 hours from Istanbul.

Another method is to go to Nüzhetiye Waterfall with photographer groups or trekking groups.. I’m going with Boytrek Trekking Group. Trekking groups pick you up from certain points early in the morning.. You go by sleeping or chatting. The fees are not very high either.. I am boarding from Mecidiyeköy.

When to Go to Nüzhetiye Waterfall?

When to Go to Nüzhetiye Waterfall? This is entirely up to you.. If you want to enter the waters, you can say that you prefer the hot summer months.. It would be nice to walk here in spring and autumn.. Even in winter, if the waters are not too high, hiking can be wonderful.

Nüzhetiye Waterfall Trekking Trail

We arrive at Nüzhetiye Village in the morning.. I’m ready to enter the waters. Our walk starts from the village. After leaving the village, we turn to dirt roads.. Then we try to part the brushwood and go down through the gap.. Thank God our guide brought a rope with him.. There are people who have come for a walk for the first time. They thought of it like a tour. He thought that by car he would go as far as the waterfall and walk two steps, but we are going the hardest way.

I also have shorts, but I need to wear something with longer legs.. The branches draw a lot of people’s legs. Stinging nettles too. We sometimes descend through the dense forest, sometimes we climb out, and we climb to the top of Nüzhetiye Waterfall.. A stream flows from here and spills over a very steep rock.. This creates the waterfall.. This road is a difficult track for those who will participate in trekking for the first time. Both rope descents are made through the forest.. There is a creek walk afterwards.. It was said to be medium-difficult among us, but it was not difficult for me.

If I were to walk for the first time, I would park my car at Nüzhetiye Village Trout facilities. I start my walk from here.. Your walking will be relatively easy. Just walk up the stream. The road will take you to Nüzhetiye Waterfall.. You walk this road of 4 km.. No matter where we walked, there were 9 km.. Moreover, we did not walk on a normal road.

Nüzhetiye Waterfall Trekking, What to Wear?

When we started the walk, I sensed that some of the participants would go to the shopping mall.. I don’t think they were aware of the event.. It is impossible not to get wet and dirty on such creek walks.. That’s why I brought my boots with me.. I was wearing an easy-drying shorts t-shirt that I could swim in.. Of course in bikini. So;

  • A non-slip, non-slip, wrap-around ankle boot
  • Baton
  • Bikini, shorts
  • Easy-drying shorts -t-shirt. (If you’re going through the forest as we went, wear something to cover your arms and legs)
  • A backpack in which you can put your water. (I wish it was waterproof)
  • Waterproof phone case (I wish I had)
  • Snack, water
  • Spare shoes or sandals (you should leave this in the car)
  • Spare dry clothes (you should leave this in the car)
  • Towel

If you start like this, you won’t hesitate to get in the water. Enter the water with your boat. dries up. It’s not worth more than you. When you have to enter the stream, you should carefully step on the stones in the water.. Maybe you didn’t, the ankle boots will prevent your ankle from sprained.. Stones are pretty slippery. If you don’t have a baton, use the sticks you find in the forest.. I don’t carry batons much. Those tree branches come home with me on the way back. Sometimes I just get on the city bus and go home. It’s very funny.

Nüzhetiye Waterfall

The rocks at the top where Nüzhetiye Waterfall falls are slipping a lot. Be careful. I tried to go a little bit but I came back.. don’t risk. We enter the forest from the top of the waterfall and start descending to the side of the stream. After a while, we reach the water.. I don’t know any of my hiking friends. Many are jumping from stone to stone. It is quite resistant to not entering the water.. This is very surprising to me because I came to enter the water. I say “Get in the water. Get those negative ions in your body”. One of them is wearing a white t-shirt. When it gets stuck on a branch and turns green, it says “it’s a stain”. I say “were you thinking about staying clean” and laugh. When I jumped into the first pond I saw, my name goes up to Girl of the Mountains. These situations of mine make them relax, and the fun begins.

Actually, it’s not a very difficult walking route, but the creek part.. In most places, you walk on the side paths.. In some places you are pulling out with a rope.. Here friends need some help. It’s natural. Finally we hear the sound of the waterfall playing bye. We are like bees running to water. There are people who even overtake me.

The place where Nüzhetiye Waterfall spills is like a corridor, and the place where it pours does not get the sun.. water is really cold. It’s the end of June, but people are really freezing. Those who say “I’m dirty for the month” and those who say “I don’t go into the water”, everyone but everyone is in the water. They dive into the waterfall with their heads. It’s so beautiful why don’t you dive in. We take pictures in order. The cold moves to the side. warming up. come on again. There are only a few other people from our group. So it’s not crowded. This is a very nice thing because the place where the waterfall falls is not very big.. We’re big enough.. The guide friend and I stay for the last. It’s so hard for me to go. When I turn around, I turn around and reveal the beauty of the view.. I guess we didn’t get negative ions left. (Negative ions abound in such places where people are scarce.. Negative ions that heal the human have a doping effect on the body. This is the reason why we return from nature so happy and healthy.)

Evil eye? Blind Fortune?

When you turn, you walk back the way you came. There is no other exit. We need to descend by rope from the places we climbed with a rope.. I gave my phone to our contacts. I didn’t have a waterproof case. I supposedly secured it but I’m taking it back right here. There’s nothing left anymore. I think I’ll take a picture. I press my right foot into the ground after I make the back rope landing.. My left foot is also in the water, but that water is as deep as a well! Who knows? I’m falling head over heels. On my phone in my pocket. Situations like this happen to the most experienced for some reason.. Nothing happens to the novice. I never lose my amateur spirit, but what shall we say? Evil eye?. What a mess this poor phone has been through anyway.. Complete canyon without cover. It took water and closed. He waited two days to go to the phone repair shop in the water and that repairman made that phone! The boy working next to him said “don’t worry about it bro” but he made the phone and saved my photos. He becomes my hero. You can find that article here. If anyone wants the phone of my phone repairman, write it in the comments.. I can mail. (It did this time but I bought a new phone. )

We take such beautiful pictures all day that it becomes a screenshot of my phone. Even though it reminds me of my phone that fell into the water every time I look at it…

Nüzhetiye Village Trout Facilities

The phone is walking in my hand Nüzhetiye Village Trout facilities. Our car is waiting for us here. We change into dry clothes and I’m trying ways to revive my phone in the right establishment. In such a case, I forget to put it in water and try to dry it.. I’m not too worried either as I’m sure my mechanic will. It has been causing a lot of trouble lately.. I guess the people in the facility put the phone in the oven to dry it for a while! At that time, I was sitting and chatting while drinking tea and coffee.

You can eat trout as well as breakfast at Nüzhetiye Village Trout Facilities.. we were not very hungry. We just drank tea and coffee.

Nüzhetiye Waterfall Camp

We went for a day trip, but I think camping here would be great. After leaving the village, there are camping areas in the forest area.. You can also find places to camp along the stream.. It is not possible to camp where Nüzhetiye Waterfall falls.. You can shop in the village.. Even if you camp by the creek, you should bring your drinking water with you.. Those who want to benefit from the Gölcük Waterfall Trout facility at the starting point of the tours can camp around it.. Do not set up your tents now. Explore first and you’ll find very nice campsites.

  • There are trekking trails
  • There are areas where you can camp by the creek
  • Fire wood etc. in the vicinity. There is a possibility to find it
  • NO Fountain
  • There is food and beverage available at Nüzhetiye Village Trout Farm
  • NO hotel and hostel
  • NO WC
  • Very convenient for taking pictures

You can also have a picnic and breakfast at Nüzhetiye Waterfall, but not where the water spills. I say this again. The place where the waterfall falls is narrow and creates a pond. The forest nearby is very suitable for this.

Our walk, which we started at 9 in the morning, ends at 2 in the afternoon. First time walkers are exhausted. I’m not even tired yet. Never have my walks ended so soon. We are returning early.

Attention: You can walk to Nüzhetiye Waterfall for 4 km through the stream by entering the water in places.. Choose non-slip shoes and clothes that dry easily. There are rope crossings in places.. Those who will start trekking for the first time should not try to walk this road.
