    Taşbalta - Erenler

    Starting from 1180 meters altitude 2 km from Taşbalta village, the route goes down to Kirazlı Dam along an 8.5 km long mountain road. Getting flat at the bottom of the valley, the route reaches Erenler after 4 km. On the return route, the road climbs for 7 km after the Alkumru Dam with 500 meters gain in altitude. The route is categorized as "advanced" because it is 29 km long. No water source is found on the route, so it is advised to bring a bottle of potable water.

    The route starts 2 km from Taşbalta with a view above Alkumru Dam. After a long descent, the road reaches the Botan River. This part of the river has the highest flow rate. Erenler, located at the westmost end of the route is a deserted settlement.

    Mobile phones work perfectly along the road with the best coverage close to the dams.
