Easy circular walk in the valley near Hacıoğlan

A very easy walk on unpaved forest roads through vast varied pine forests.

The route leads through the valley of Hacıoğlan. We start the hike near a camping site that is located on the edge of the forest. We can easily park our car somewhere along the road.
We first follow the river that got its name from the nearby village downstream. At some spots, at least in winter, there are small waterfalls.
After almost two kilometres we turn right and leave the river and go up clearly.
We are going to follow a route that goes along the upper part of the valley so that we occasionally have beautiful views, over the valley itself, but also over the mountains around us. The forest is varied and every now and then we see beautiful cypresses.
Finally, we descend, in the direction of Hacıoğlan. But before we reach this hamlet we turn sharply right and continue further into the valley, more or less at the edge of the forest.
Walking continues to be very easy because here too we walk on unpaved forest roads.
We are already entering the last segment of our hike, which is characterized by the presence of several streams and which eventually follows the river again until we return to our starting point.

Time spent: total = 5 hours 45 minutes of which moving = 3 hours 27 minutes

Disclaimer.

I have personally performed and then downloaded the route described, along with the track and waypoints, based on my personal experience. However, it is important to note that these should be considered as general guides and not precise instructions. Trails may not always accurately represent the exact itinerary due to factors such as weak satellite reception during GPS recording, especially in areas with ravines, deep gorges, dense forests, and similar conditions. Furthermore, the situation of the hiking trails may change over time, meaning that the descriptions given no longer correspond to the current situation.

It is the sole responsibility of the individual undertaking these trails to take appropriate safety measures, which should be tailored to the specific difficulty level and be in accordance to the prevailing weather conditions. Additionally, it should be realized that one's technical and physical preparedness play a crucial role in ensuring a safe hiking experience.

I strongly recommend hiking with a companion when venturing into the mountains. Always inform a friend or family member of your itinerary and estimated time of return. Ensure that your phone has a sufficient battery charge, and carry an adequate supply of water, food, and appropriate shelter for the season and the chosen route.

Please commit to leaving the natural environment as pristine as you found it, or even better. This way, we can all continue to enjoy the beauty of these trails, leaving behind only the traces of our footsteps.
