Maksempınar is a neat, green village where several hiking and biking trails intersect. Like many other villages in southern Nilüfer, it was founded by immigrants from Bulgaria after the 1877 - 78 Russo-Turkish War.
After taking a break in the village square, head 300 meters down Cemetery Street to the main road. Turn right and start the trail at the signpost on the left side of the street. The trail begins at 480 meters elevation and drops to 115 meters as it winds through gardens, intersecting paths, and forestry access roads.
The route arcs east, then turns north, skirting Kocakıvırcık Hill with wide views of the Bursa Plain and, in the distance, the Sea of Marmara.
The first 2.5 km descends between two hills. After the junction, take the left path above a farmhouse, continuing through oak woods. The trail passes open green spaces and descends under Devedüzü Hill and Çırayolu Ridge, followed by a 1 km forest stretch.
The trail reaches Oğlak Stream, which feeds Hasanağa Pond, then follows the lush riverbank for 1.5 km along the west side of the pond to reach Hasanağa Village. Alternatively, you can walk along the southeastern side of the pond and rejoin the main trail via the dam.
