Pamuk cotton means in Turkish and Kale fortress, the name means Cotton fortress. The white waterfall is in fact much like a huge castle cotton. At one point visitors could climb the whole "travertine" or collected pools of mineral water, but because the government has blocked climbing and is thus saved the white slope of a further deterioration.
At the top of the hill, there were various resorts and hotels were closed goverement rules. It's Swin Cleopatra's swimingpool (30 new Turkish lira pp) has the hot, bubbly water (it has been described as swimming in a rather warm champagne). If your eyes open underwater world, the minerals in the water are supposedly good for the eyes.
Pamukkale (correct spelling) is a World Heritage Site. The white travertinese forms when hot spring high concenrated of CaCO3 evaporated and deposites in the surface.There are some man-made travertine, visitors can walk through the left upper part of the mountain to the experience. The actual travertine are now off limits, but can be easily viewed from many different angles and are usually only 10 to 20 meters away. In 2005, there are significant construction (almost done), which will allow visitors better ways (handicap accessible) and seating to the travertine.
Many hiking and cruising altitude. You need your shoes to walk in the water. Do not forget Heriopolis adjacent to the ancient Roman city and its cemetery, which is a part of this site and the anphitheatre. You can easily spend a day here.
The site is also close to a confluence of the rivers for you hunters. There are many ruins on the site called the Hierapolis and grave yards (necropolis) everywhere.
