The P3 trail is about 6 km long and heads southeast from Dağyenice Pond (2.7 km away) toward Doğancı Dam, which supplies drinking water to Bursa. From there, it continues downhill into Doğancı Village.
The trailhead lies along an old road connecting Doğancı and Atlas villages, near the endpoint of the Trans Mysia 1 route. If you’re coming from that route, look for the path opposite the public fountain. You can also reach this point from the Dağyenice Pond by taking the left-turning asphalt road near the trail signs at the entrance. After a slight climb, a rough road passing through the Doğancı Picnic Area joins the Doğancı-Atlas road after 1.5 km.
At the intersection with direction signs, a dirt road climbs to Tekçam Ridge. To get on the P3 trail, turn left and walk 500 meters. The forest road heading to Doğancı Dam is wide and smooth enough for vehicles for the first 2 km, shaded by pine trees.
After another 1.5 km through the forest, the trail starts descending alongside the Nilüfer Valley near Kırtaşlık Hill. Keep left at the signs, and you’ll follow a forked dirt trail through the woods into Doğancı village, part of the Osmangazi District.
