this handmade road is extremely challenging, with drops of hundreds of meters unprotected by guardrails and 22 unlit and extremely narrow tunnels. The construction of the road started in 1870 and finished in 2002.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Kemaliye Taş Yolu (Stone road of Kemaliye) is located between the İliç and Kemaliye districts of Erzincan Province, in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey. The drive above the canyon is spectacular and hair raising with the raging Euphrates river hundreds of meters below. Imagine a breathtaking wild gorge in steep rocky mountains, a deep green river, colourful gardens, forests, cosy stone and wooden houses, waterfalls, fresh mountain air and warmhearted locals... The road finds its way through the rocks, above the dangerous Kemaliye Karanlık Kanyon. It is surreal. This is a river and walls of rocks on each side. Tucked away in the Munzur Mountains, the road runs south-north from a tunnel on the paved D877 towards Gümüşçeşme.
Türkçe: Kemaliye Taş Yolu. 1870'te başladi Baltalar ve kazmalarla, insan eliyle yapılmaya başlanan Taş Yol, 2002 yılında bitirilip hizmete açılıyor. Fırat Nehri kenarında, yüksek uçurumlar ve 7 kilometrelik tünellerle birlikte çok keyifli ama bir o kadar da korkutucu bir yolculuk ile Kemaliye'ye varıyoruz..
