Starting from the village square, this trail connects İnegazi-a settlement founded by the Karakeçili Yörüks (Turkish nomads) -with the villages of Tahtalı and Yaylacık. As you walk past the village coffeehouse in İnegazi, head in the direction of Çalı. Just after exiting the village, turn left, then about 200 meters later, take a right at the fork. From here, follow the uphill path.
For about one kilometer, the dirt road winds through meadows and oak groves before turning into a narrow path that continues through dense oak forest. After a while, the path reaches a gravel production facility belonging to a mining operation with a diameter of about 750 meters. At this point, the trail takes a sharp right and follows a gently rolling dirt road under thick forest cover for another 1.5 kilometers until you reach a Y-shaped fork.
From this fork, if you want to head to Tahtalı, turn left and follow the Mysia Trail markings. After about one kilometer, you'll reach a mining road that runs parallel to a streambed. Continue about 650 meters north along this road, then turn left onto a marked path. This section climbs up the ridges below Öküz Hill in a zigzag pattern. Once you reach the top of the ridge, the descent toward Tahtalı begins. Following the route along the east side of File Hill, you'll arrive at Tahtalı village after about 1.6 kilometers.
If, instead of turning left at the fork 1.5 kilometers past the quarry, you take the road to the right, you’ll connect to the P7 trail from Atlas to Yaylacık. From there, the path continues downhill through pine forests, leading to the plain and arriving at Yaylacık village after 3 kilometers.
