In Süzek Kanyonu, about 4 kilometres from the centre of Gökçebey, the Süzek stream runs past seven waterfalls through a valley that has kept its untouched natural character, and the district has laid out an adventure trail along it.
A picnic area marks the start of the trail, with an information board, direction signs, ten tables with benches, ten gazebos, a container for changing clothes and two toilets, and there is parking for about 40 cars. The stretch from the picnic area to the first waterfall is judged suitable for families with children over ten, and knotted ropes have been fixed for the descent to the safety points. Along the route there is a wooden staircase, a climbing stair cut into the earth for about 30 metres, steel anchor bolts and static safety rope, with warning signs beside the rope descents. Some 2 kilometres into the valley stand the ruins of an old water mill.
