Pamukkale, known as "Cotton Castle" is a feature caused by calcium water running from a spring at the top of a small mountain in the Turkish countryside. This was taken about fifteen years ago before several large hotels were built nearby which diverted water for their own purposes and this feature virtually dried up. The Turkish government demolished the hotels and redirected the water to its original route to maintain this fairyland phenomenon.
When we visited you could walk through the pools of warm water with white mud!
I don't think you can do this now.
