The route leaves Tunceli city centre, follows the Munzur Stream and reaches Ovacık through Munzur Valley National Park. After Ovacık, about 15 km brings you to the Munzur Springs in the village of Ziyaret. The total distance is about 75 km.
Road conditions
The road is asphalt and runs along the valley with bends that follow the curves of the stream.
Things to watch for
- After heavy downpours the Munzur Stream can overflow; in past years the Tunceli–Ovacık highway was closed to traffic because of floods.
- In summer, especially on holidays, the area around the Munzur Springs is crowded.
- Check the road conditions beforehand for snowfall and ice in winter.
- Within the national park boundaries, follow the rules and do not litter.
Before setting out, check the road-condition announcements of the Tunceli Governorship. Top up on fuel in Tunceli city centre or in Ovacık.
