A Hidden Natural Wonder in Konya

Located approximately 65 kilometers east of Konya near the village of Kızören, Kızören Sinkhole is one of Türkiye’s most remarkable geological formations. With a diameter of 228 meters and a depth of 171 meters, it is among the country’s largest sinkholes and a striking example of the region’s unique karst landscape.

The area offers visitors an opportunity to enjoy peaceful walks, scenic views, and picnic areas overlooking the water. Its tranquil atmosphere makes it a popular destination for nature lovers, photographers, and those seeking a quiet escape from the city.

Accessible by private vehicle, the sinkhole is about a one-hour drive from Konya city center. The journey itself offers views of the region’s characteristic plains and countryside.

For travelers interested in natural landscapes and lesser-known attractions, Kızören Sinkhole provides a memorable experience and a chance to discover one of Konya’s hidden natural treasures.
