In Erzincan, the Stone Road between Kemaliye and Divriği, which is considered one of the world's most challenging routes and took 132 years to complete, attracts adventure enthusiasts looking to explore on foot or by vehicle with its numerous tunnels, bends, and steep cliffs.
The construction of the Stone Road began in 1870 with the aim of connecting Erzincan's Kemaliye (Eğin) district to the Central Anatolia region. The road, which initially started as a narrow path, was carved through the impassable rocks of the Dark Canyon with primitive tools by the local people, resembling the proverbial needle and thread. With the support of the state, the road was completed in 2002 after 132 years of labor. Originally narrow and passable only on foot, the Stone Road was later expanded for vehicle traffic, connecting Kemaliye to Divriği. The 7-kilometer-long road, offering breathtaking views along the Dark Canyon with its rugged cliffs reaching 400-500 meters at some points, is now utilized more for tourism than transportation, featuring 38 tunnels of various sizes, sharp bends, and cliffs.
Stretching from Kemaliye to Divriği along the banks of the Euphrates River, the road, favored by those seeking adventure by vehicle, continues to enchant its visitors with its natural beauty despite the perilous journey it presents, both on foot and by vehicle.
More Dangerous Than the Guoliang Tunnel The road, known as the Stone Road, which is introduced as the "world's most dangerous road" by the website "www.dangerousroads.org," dedicated to presenting hazardous and challenging roads worldwide, is noted to be occasionally more treacherous than the internationally renowned "Guoliang Tunnel" in China.
International Erzincan Kemaliye Cultural and Nature Sports Festival in Kemaliye offers a warm welcome to those who seek adventure through a challenging journey on foot or by vehicle along the Stone Road, which has been designated as a dangerously thrilling route. In addition to the Stone Road, thrill-seekers can also enjoy "Base Jump" and "Wingsuit" jumps in the Dark Canyon.
Every year, the district and the Stone Road, with its unique features, host a considerable number of adrenaline enthusiasts, both local and foreign tourists, offering unforgettable beauty and thrilling adventures to adventure enthusiasts.
