Kemaliye Tas Yolu – the Stone Road of Kemaliye
Tag: Extreme Motorcycle Roads
A metal bridge takes you over Euphrates River to the beginning of a dark tunnel carved in stone – This is where the extreme motorcycle roads section begins.
The tunnel is rough and dark, only the light coming from the motorcycle headlights caresses the rocky walls. The journey starts with a short section of paving slabs followed by tarmac. After about 1 km you leave the asphalt road and keep right on Euphrates riverbank on an effortless section of gravel and dirt. The giant rocky walls of the mountain guard your left and on the right side the magnificent views over Dark Canyon keep you company. The road is staggering. The high mountain walls seems to collapse on you any second, and a steep precipice drops to the cold waters of Euphrates River. The road is narrow, with no guard rails, you feel like walking a tightrope.
