Although I camped at Dikmen Farm on the finish of the day on the earlier Aşağıtırtar – Dikmen Çiftliği observe, the following day I rested for 1 full day at Mustafa’s home, which is 200 meters from the farm. If you want, as an alternative of tenting in entrance of Dikmen farm, you may spend a cushty day at brother Mustafa’s home, set up your belongings and refresh your battery that’s about to expire.

Dikmen Farm – Advice in regards to the Barla observe

You ascend from roughly 900 meters to 1750 meters by following the paths. The trails are usually fairly clean, besides for 2 steep ramps throughout your ascent. I might say the indicators are additionally wholesome alongside the best way you ascend.

As you ascend, you’ll encounter two steep ascents between 1250 and 1500 meters. In dry climate I bought over each with no drawback. I’m positive it is going to be very slippery in wet climate or after rain. If the flooring are moist, you’ll want to have gaiters with you, taking into consideration that you’ll battle within the mud on these steep climbs.

When you descend from 1770 meters, the indicators disappear for some time. Be positive to observe the GPS. You can observe the route on the GPS even should you do not see the tracks. On the best way down, Barla and Eğirdir lake shall be in entrance of you want a plate.

Places value seeing on the path

Along the path, there is just one church ruins close to the village of Barla. Apart from that, you’re advancing with an exquisite mountain and lake view.

Barla has such a touristic characteristic. This village is called the place the place Said Nursi was exiled and lived for 8 years within the first years of the republic. They stated that earlier than December 17/24 and the coup try, busloads of individuals visited this place day-after-day. But as of late, this place is totally silent.

Water sources and purchasing

I noticed two or three wells on the a part of this observe the place you ascend to the Barla mountain, however they had been all dried up. On the best way down, I solely got here throughout a water supply in a single place. I did not really feel the necessity to mark it as it is extremely near Barla. For this cause, it’s best to undoubtedly begin by supplying water at Dikmen farm or at brother Mustafa’s home.

The water faucet in Dikmen farm is positioned within the backyard of the home. It is just not attainable to get permission as nobody lives in the home. I discovered from the shepherds within the space that the proprietor of this home (they stated he was from Austria) pays the invoice for water. So at this level, I do not understand how proper it’s to fill water as if it had been our father’s property. In addition, the proprietor of the home can flip off the water sooner or later. You can take into account Mustafa’s home as the one everlasting water supply within the space.

Barla village is the one place within the neighborhood (as much as Eğirdir) the place you may get meals. There are 3-4 markets within the village, similar to the grocery retailer.

Accommodation – Camp

When I approached Barla, the younger folks of the village stated that I may spend the evening within the masjid on the gasoline station on the entrance of Barla (the activate the freeway operating parallel to the lake), and that they might take me on the again of the bike. As I used to be fairly drained, I accepted their provide. The inside the mosque was clear. Before organising a tent, I laid the mat on the carpet and slept on it. Since there’s a 24-hour market within the gasoline station, you should purchase snacks. If you wish to arrange a tent, arrange your tent in an acceptable space 1 kilometer away from the village. Villagers are used to foreigners.

There are a number of lodges in Barla. You may also spend the evening on the lodge if you want.

Thoughts on the parkour

This is the primary time I’ve been this excessive since Yalvaç. So I can say that the ambiance (vegetation, geography) has modified a bit. I believe it was a really good observe. At the tip of the street, it’s good to know which you could meet all of your meals and shelter wants in Barla, which is sort of as developed as a city.
