The P5 trail is 6.4 km long and very beginner-friendly-perfect for hikers of all ages. It’s popular among day-trippers who want to snap panoramic photos from Dağyenice Pond or enjoy a 4.5 km walk to Çalı Pond.
The starting point is 100 meters past the Dağyenice Pond facilities-look for signs pointing to Fırla Hill - Çalı on the open right-hand side. This is also the start of the Fırla Hill - Demirci (P2) trail.
The path begins climbing toward Tavşankaya Hill, then splits after 1 km. P2 goes downhill on the same dirt road, while the P5 trail to Çalı turns left and descends. You’ll pass between fields and oak groves near Çakmacık Hill, turn right after 700 meters, and enjoy great views of Nilüfer’s villages and the plain. In summer, you might walk through sunflower fields.
The forest road, winding through oaks and pines, eventually connects with P8 (Atlas - Çalı) and drops about 1 km below Çalı Pond. From there, the P5 trail continues north through an old road connecting Atlas and Çalı villages.
This route also forms part of the B1 bike trail between Misi and Dağyenice Pond. The pond is a peaceful spot, favored by anglers for its seclusion. It’s about 3.5 km from Çalı Village.
The final dirt road descends through a valley and joins the asphalt road heading to Atlas. Once you hit the main road, turn right on Yıldırım Street, then right again onto 192nd Street. After 500 meters, you’ll arrive at the village square in Çalı, where you can end your walk with a coffee.
