History and General Information / Local Legends and Folklore
Halbori Springs, within the borders of Munzur Valley National Park, is one of the most well-known natural recreation spots in Tunceli with its ice-cold spring waters gushing from under the steep rocks. This area, which extends along the deep canyon of the Munzur Stream, has been the most important stopping point for caravans and plateauers passing through the valley throughout history.
