Güngören is a lively village located at the crossroads of the Trans Mysia stages. Despite its vibrant atmosphere and large population, the natural environment around it has suffered due to the many marble quarries in the area. About 1.5 kilometers southeast of the village, there's a small lake where you can pitch a tent and enjoy a quiet camping experience.
The P15 trail is 11 kilometers long and begins right in the village square. The first part follows a paved connector road toward Kuruçeşme, winding through farmlands for about 1 kilometer before passing beneath Kayrak Hill and Bağlık Hill. As the road gently descends toward Kuruçeşme, it enters a forest filled with pine and oak trees, eventually reaching this small Yörük village after another 3 kilometers.
For the second leg of the route, you have two options. One is to walk east from the signpost on the paved road above Kuruçeşme that descends from Güngören. The other is to take the bike path that passes below the children’s playground at the lower edge of the village. Both routes merge after about 1.2 kilometers.
From the trail sign on the dirt road, a path turns north and begins descending along Çaltarla Ridge, following the valley alongside Bostanlı Creek. Starting from the trail sign below Kuruçeşme, the route to Kayapa is 6.4 kilometers long and continues along the ridgeline to the left of Kayapa Lake. After flattening out, the trail crosses the Güngörmez Creek and turns west, ending in the center of Kayapa.
