The 11.5 km B5 route connects Maksempınar to Akçalar via Unçukuru. Follow the asphalt west from Maksempınar toward Unçukuru. The trail climbs gently for 2.5 km, reaching 550 m at Kale Hill, then descends.
At the Unçukuru junction, you’ll see the split for B5, B13, and B19 routes. Turn toward Akçalar-Hasanağa. From here, B5 descends on asphalt, passing through oak woods along Dağlıyolu Ridge. After 1.5 km, you’ll begin to see views of Lake Uluabat.
Continue past the dirt road to Fadıllı Aviation and Nature Sports Center, known for the Nilüfer Aviation Festivals. After 3.6 km, turn left at the signpost back onto dirt road and continue descending. The trail passes marble quarries and fields before reaching Akçalar via a village dirt road.
The final 5.5 km of B5 coincides with the Trans Mysia 5 route, beginning from the water depot under the Maksempınar fire tower.
Alternative: For panoramic views of Lake Uluabat and the Bursa Plain, take the dirt road to the fire tower. From the exit point below Maksempınar, turn right at the tower sign after 2 km and ride 1.7 km. You'll reach the watchtower - perfect for taking photos and enjoying the silence. A 500 m descent connects back to the main road from Unçukuru. This 2.5 km alternative route shortens the overall route by 1 km.
