Water coming through a canal from Kepez 1 Hydroelectric Power Plant forms the waterfall, which drops into the basin of the source.
The source and waterfall are surrounded by a park. The site is fenced in and can only be accessed at the opening hours and by paying a fee. The opening hours are 08:00–19:00 from April to October and 08:00–18:00 from November to March. As of 2025, the fee is 70 TL (around 1.90 €) per adult[1] .
