This 9.1 km trail connects Atlas Village to both Çalı Pond and Çalı Village, and also creates a great link between Çalı and Dağyenice Pond.
Start your walk at the Atlas village square, follow the direction signs, pass the public fountain that flows year-round, and head through the village road. After about 1.1 km, turn right at the fountain at the end of the road, cross Kurtkaya Stream, and begin climbing toward the massive plane tree. From there, the trail climbs through open pastures up to Çiftlik Hill.
After passing through pine trees, the trail makes a sharp turn north, then descends along a forest path by the western slope of Evlerkonağı Hill, following a stream bed until it reaches a ridge on the southern edge of Çalı Pond.
The trail continues parallel to the pond, climbs up a ridge above the dam, then makes a steep descent through the forest, opening onto a meadow before connecting with the main road between Atlas and Çalı. Follow this road toward Çalı, and after 2.8 km, the trail ends in Çalı village square.
