The 16 kilometres long route which starts at Kuruçeşme Quarter, after it passes above Maksempınar Quarter reaches the quarter of Hasanağa.

In order to reach Kuruçeşme, which is the starting point of Route B4, you can use Routes B2 and B3 connecting Kuruçeşme to İnegazi Quarter. The road which descends for 2,5 kilometres from Kuruçeşme towards the North,  turns towards the left  at  the direction signs standing at the road division between Kayapa and Maksempınar.  From then on it continues on asphalt road and rises towards Yokuşbalı Tepe (Yokuşbalı Hill) from 370 to 485 metres altitude. Road traffic is comparatively denser here than in other roads because of the number of tracks carrying loads from the marble quarries. Pay attention to the tracks descending to Kayapa especially at the 5 kilometres long part of the asphalt road from the turning to Kuruçeşme until Maksempınar Quarter.

Maksempınar is the biggest and most organized settlement of the mountainous region. You can make a stop here before entering Hasanağa Route.

Enter the Kocaoğlakderesi picnic area road at the direction signs placed on the right of the asphalt road advancing below Maksempınar Quarter. After advancing for 1,4 kilometres on bad-quality asphalt road the route passes below Kocakıyırcık Tepe (Kocakıyırcık Hill) and terminates at the picnic area. Here you can make a stop and satisfy your water needs. Turn right at the direction signs and enter the unpaved road. From the ridge line on the left of Değirmenler Stream the route passes among village houses, it advances below the fire tower of Maksempınar and it passes within an oak tree wood before it joins after 1,8 kilometres the aspahlt road between Unçukuru and Hasanağa. At this point turn right, advance for 500 metres, turn to the right at the direction signs and enter the unpaved road. The road which follows the ridge below Yeldeğirmen Hill advances on the left of the pond and terminates after 5 kilometres at Hasanağa Quarter.

In order to go to the city centre, you can use Route B9 in the direction of Kayapa and Tahtalı.
