"One of the World's Most Dangerous Roads: Erzincan-Kemaliye-Divriği Road @Duzensizrota"

The road between Kemaliye and Divriği is known as one of Turkey's most fascinating and historic routes. The most striking part of this road is the section starting from the district of Kemaliye, running through the Dark Canyon, and known as the Stone Road. The construction of this road was completed through a challenging process that lasted 132 years.
The construction of the road began in the late 19th century during the Ottoman Empire. Local people undertook this arduous task with great determination and effort to facilitate access between Kemaliye (formerly known as Eğin) and Sivas and its surroundings. However, the region's extremely rugged and rocky terrain made the construction of the road quite difficult and dangerous.
The Stone Road was built entirely by hand, carved into the steep rocky walls of the canyon. This approximately 8-kilometer-long road has been a vital connection for both Kemaliye and Divriği. During its construction, the tunnels, narrow passages, and sharp turns carved into the depths of the canyon are considered an engineering marvel achieved through the great effort and sacrifice of the local people.
The completion of this challenging road brought significant economic and social development to the region. It not only facilitated transportation but also contributed to the growth of local trade, increased cultural interactions, and opened the region to the outside world. Today, the Kemaliye-Divriği road, with its historical and cultural significance, has also become a popular destination for extreme sports and nature enthusiasts. Particularly, the Dark Canyon and the Stone Road offer an unforgettable experience for daring adventurers.
The canyon's name comes from its narrow and deep valleys, where sunlight only enters at certain times, giving it a mystical atmosphere. Dark Canyon is an ideal location for extreme sports, especially activities like rock climbing and kayaking, for adrenaline enthusiasts. Additionally, the stone roads passing through the canyon and the historic Kemaliye Houses reveal the region's cultural heritage. The canyon is a unique exploration point for both nature lovers and history enthusiasts.
