Destination

Balabancik Ve Gazi Aktimur Hisari

Gazi Osman Bey planned to turn toward Bursa after Bilecik, İnegöl, Sakarya and Yenişehir. Since the Bursa fortress, surrounded by steep rocks, could not be taken easily, Osman Gazi built two observation points, which we call havale towers, one on the hill to the east of the city and the other near the hot springs to the west of the city, and blockaded the city by controlling the entrances and exits.
