Itinerary description
The route starts from a small parking lot next to the Yakacik Mosque. This is pretty much the point where the asphalt and pavement end. There is a water point at this place.
We walk past a few houses through the village and then continue on easy unpaved forest roads through a pine forest.
There are quite a few forest clearing activities, and we may encounter a tractor or a team with chain saws along the way.
At the beginning of the route, we walk more or less through a valley, but further on in the middle part we walk along relatively higher areas through a more open landscape so that we have many panoramas. Anyone who knows the area a little will recognize the Saklıkent and Babadağ.
In this part of the route, we also often pass olive groves.
When we start to get close to Yakacik again, there are sometimes beautiful rock formations along our way with beautiful vegetation with in winter time a dominant presence of euphorbia.
The last part of the route goes through the village of Yakacik itself, where we can get a nice glimpse of the housing of the people who live in the rural areas of Fethiye.
Some additional information:
The route is designed in a clockwise direction.
Time spent: total = 6 hours 7 minutes of which moving = 3 hours 49 minutes.
There is drinking water at the starting point and after 2,2 and 10,8 km from the start.
The track is very easy from a technical point of view.
The track is not signalled.

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.
