Korubaşı Village, once called Balyaz, lies 29 km from Bursa and was founded in the 1880s by five Karakeçili Yörük (Turkish nomads) families during the time of Governor Ahmet Vefik Paşa. With a traditional village layout and economy based on forestry and livestock, it has kept much of its old charm.
The 3.8 km trail to Korubaşı starts at Maksempınar village square. Walk 400 meters toward the cemetery and join the main road to Mustafakemalpaşa. At the Kocaoğlak Stream picnic area, turn left and walk 300 meters more. A signpost marks the trailhead.
The narrow, tree-covered path leads to Mazı Hill, passing through green meadows and rocky patches where you might see local women herding goats. Follow the trail markings carefully through meadows, oaks, and stony terrain.
Around the 2 km mark, the trail is cut by a newly opened construction road for wind turbines. Cross it and continue on the dirt road toward Korubaşı. The route passes Kocaçalı Hill and Gayrak Hill, descending to a paved road. Turn right and walk 300 meters to reach the peaceful and authentic Korubaşı village.
