The Famous Budaklı Hot Springs and the Mud Bath

One of the most striking images associated with Güroymak is the Budaklı Hot Springs. While the entire region is covered in snow during winter, warm water emerges from beneath the earth.

  • Local villagers bathe their cattle and horses in these warm waters.
  • It is astonishing to see cattle floating in steaming hot water while the outside air is freezing cold.
  • This practice not only cleanses the animals but also creates a unique spectacle for tourists visiting the area.
