Aytepe- Biçkidere
It is a route that any healthy person can complete without any difficulty. On this route, it is possible to see the beginning of Soğukdere Valley from a bird's-eye view. The rocky Şahin Tepesi on the left in the direction of the view toward the valley is known as Rasim'in kayası, the rocky formation opposite it. We consider the checkpoint belonging to the Forestry Directorate located in Yuvacık Aytepe to be the ideal starting point for this route.
