Koksu Hot Springs

　　Koksu Hot Springs is situated to the south of Tekes County, about 48 kilometers in a straight line from the county seat. It can be reached by highway and mountainous back roads. The elevation is 1,640 meters. The hot springs emerge from rock fissures on the left bank of the Koksu River valley, with two main spring outlets. The water is clear and transparent, smooth to the touch, with temperatures ranging between 40°C and 50°C. The springs contain various minerals such as carbonates, sulfur, and phosphorus, and are known to be effective in treating rheumatism, arthritis, skin conditions, and other ailments.

　　The hot springs are located in the middle reaches of the Koksu River. In this section, the river cuts deeply through the bedrock, forming a canyon where the waters rush down with fierce currents, splashing waves and roaring sounds. The area around the hot springs features towering cliffs and lush spruce forests.
