Yusufeli (until 1912 Kiskim ) is a city and a district in the Artvin Province on the Black Sea in northeastern Turkey . Yusufeli lies at the mouth of the Barhal Çayı in the Çoruh . The name Kiskim should be changed by order of the Interior Ministry, as there was a place with similar names near Ankara. Then the place was named after the Ottoman prince Yusuf Izzettin Efendi . The name means "Land of Yusuf".
A side road about 30 kilometers long leads northwest into the Katschkar Mountains to the village of Barhal , a hiking area with another church. The city is traversed by the Altıparmak River
