The valley, which is approximately 6 km long, is formed by the merger of the Gomeda and Üzengi valleys. It has a touristic structure. You can pass through the valleys more comfortably and easily with the ATV tour. Therefore, it has a more virgin environment. The valley, which draws attention with its churches and multi-storey pigeon houses, is one of the important ATV tracks of the region. According to our entry point, the beginning of the valley is called the Gomeda valley and the last part is called the Üzengi Valley. The name Gomeda comes from the historical ruins at the entrance of the valley, and the name Üzengi comes from the stream in the valley. Üzengi Stream starts from the south of Ortahisar and joins with Damsa Stream. The surrounding of the creek is used as a picnic area in Ürgüp with its mineral water resources and wooded structure. ATV tour in the valley continues in the direction of the stream.

When you start the Stirrup part of the valley with an ATV tour, you can see very impressive dovecotes carved into the high rock walls. Decorations on some of the dovecotes draw attention. It is possible to reach this part of the valley in summer by an earthen car coming from Ortahisar Pancarlık Church. After the dovecotes, the valley widens and proceeds over the stream bed. Towards the end of the valley, a mineral water spring is encountered on the left side. The flow rate of this water source, known as Üzengi İçmecesi, is about half a liter per second. The carbon dioxide excess of the drink, which has an intense sulfur smell, makes it easy to drink. It is said that the drink is good for liver, gall bladder problems, digestive disorders and kidney disorders. Approximately 15-20 minutes after. We reach the uniquely beautiful panorama point of Ortahisar, and here we come to the end of a pleasant ATV tour by watching the sunset.
