However, since the section to the east and southeast of the fountain and the stabilized road lies within the borders of Kızıldağ Milli Parkı, camping is not possible in this area.

After proceeding 20 thousand metres on the winding road through the forest formed by centuries-old pine trees, visitors are greeted by Beyçam Anıt Ağacı. This black pine tree, more than 700 years old, has a diameter of 155 cm, a circumference of 465 cm and a height of 28,5 metres. Beyçam Anıt Ağacı also indicates that the route is about to end.
