At the Dağyenice-Demirci turning, turn and advance towards the left. If you come from the side of Bursa turn to the right before you enter Misi, at the point where you will see a plane tree and a fountain, and then advance in the direction of Dağyenice. After 2,5 km you will see the direction signs below Dağyenice Quarter; the road advancing towards the right will bring you directly to Dağyenice Pond. If you want to take a rest, use the road on the left and make a stop at Dağyenice coffeehouse under the shadow of an old plane tree. The road, which passes below Dağyenice mosque advancing towards the South, unites after a while with the lower road which leads directly to Dağyenice Pond.
