Kadıncık Waterfall is located 20 kilometers from Ordu, in Kadıncık Neighborhood, Ulubey district. The water, falling from a height of 10 meters, flows through a lush forested valley.

Guide's Note
When to Visit
The water of Kadıncık Waterfall flows more powerfully in spring due to snowmelt and rainfall. Those who visit between April and June encounter a more abundant view. The flow can decrease towards late summer, so adjust your expectations accordingly if you plan to visit in the later summer months. Road conditions can change in winter, so check your vehicle tires beforehand.
How to Get There
From Ordu city center, Kadıncık Neighborhood in Ulubey district is reached via an asphalt road. The distance is approximately 20 kilometers. Public transport options are limited; going by private car or rental car is the most practical way. According to district governorate records, the waterfall is only 3 km from the neighborhood itself; after arriving in the neighborhood, it's a short drive.
How Much Time to Allocate
1-1.5 hours is sufficient to visit the waterfall and the adjacent mill, including taking photos. You can spread this stop over one day of your Ordu trip, combining it with other waterfalls around Ulubey. Since Ordu is known as the "City of Waterfalls," there are multiple waterfalls in the region, so planning your day accordingly makes sense.
Route Suggestion
Leaving Ordu center early and heading towards Ulubey allows you to combine several nature stops in one day. Kadıncık Waterfall can be the first stop, followed by a lunch break in Ulubey town center. If time permits, other waterfalls in the region can also be added to the same day, but it's necessary to research travel times beforehand.
Photo Spots
The spot where you can capture the waterfall and the mill in the same frame is the most preferred angle by visitors. The stone texture of the mill and the white foam of the water create a contrast. Taking photos in the afternoon when the light enters the valley more directly reduces shadows.
Things to Consider
The ground around the waterfall is mossy and can be slippery, especially on rainy days, so walk carefully. There are occasional complaints about water cleanliness in reviews, so it's wise to visually check before entering the water. There are no edge barriers for families with children, so keep them close.
