Uludağ National Park hike

Bursa Uludağ Yolu, Osmangazi, Bursa

Description

Mt Uludağ is the highest mountain in the Marmara region, it culminates at 2,543m and has a prominence of just over 1,500m, rising just south of the city of Bursa, in the namesake Province of Turkey. In the winter, it is a popular ski resort with a cable car leaving straight from the city suburb. This review is for the beginner-friendly 7.5km out-and-back route between Sarıalan (where the cable car line from Bursa ends) and Çobankaya. Cumulative ascent / descent is a modest 220m, making it suitable for inexperienced hikers and families. The trail is mostly among trees.

Access & Transport

Sarıalan is 30km from the center of Bursa and can also be reached in 20mins by cable car (leaving from Teferrüç).

Instructions & Recommendations

Make sure to bring proper footwear, some snacks (and possibly a picnic), plenty of water, sun protection and rain/wind coat depending on the weather forecast. Cloudy doesn't mean the UVs won't get to you. This activity is best combined with a visit of the Green Tomb and the Grand Mosque in Bursa

Conclusion
