Gücünkaya is a village in the central district of the Turkish province of Aksaray . It is about ten kilometers east of Aksaray city center . From the D-400 trunk road from Aksaray to Nevşehir , a road branches off to the south about ten kilometers east of Aksaray and leads into the Ihlara Valley . After about four kilometers the road crosses the Melendiz River . A few hundred meters east of the bridge is the dam with which the river to Mamasın Barajı is dammed. Gücünkaya begins on the southern bank of the river. From the village a dirt road about 2.5 kilometers leads east to the rock Burunkaya, on the southern slope of which a late Hittite rock inscription is engraved on a fallen stone block .
