Located 34 km from Bursa city center, Akçalar is easily accessible via the İzmir highway. Alternatively, you can reach it by taking the B9 route, which starts in Misi and goes through Tahtalı and Kayapa before ending in Akçalar, covering 25.5 km.
The B6 route starts in the village square where the B9 route ends. Head straight along the road passing in front of the old bathhouse in Akçalar and follow the signs. When the village houses end, turn right. Continue straight with the farmlands near Lake Uluabat on your left. Once you pass the last apartment blocks, you'll be on the dirt road that leads from Akçalar to Gölyazı.
From the start, the B6 route runs together with the Trans Mysia Akçalar-Gölyazı stage, then splits off to the left after 2.5 km. Ride straight for 1.3 km between fields, then turn right toward Başköy. Keep following the Mysia Yolları signposts and you’ll reach the edge of Başköy village after 3 km.
In Başköy, you can stay overnight at the Ertan Ayçetin Bicycle House, a facility set up by Nilüfer Municipality where cyclists can rest, socialize, and take part in cultural activities. From there, you can continue your ride the next day on trails heading toward Lake Uluabat, Kapanca Harbor, or westward along the rest of B6. If you follow B7, you’ll head toward Görükle; or if you prefer to reach the Marmara Sea, B17 or B18 will take you to Kapanca Harbor.
From Bahçeler Sırtı, the dirt road runs zigzag between fields, following an irrigation canal. After 5.3 km, it reaches the opposite side of Çatalağıl village, where it reconnects with the Trans Mysia 6 route from Akçalar. Continue zigzagging for 3.5 km more, then when you see the bicycle route signpost, exit onto the Gölyazı paved road. The Trans Mysia route turns left here, but you’ll continue straight on a 4 km paved road to Gölyazı.
During the long summer days, you can extend your trip by taking the B16 route to Eskikaraağaç - famously known as the “Stork Village.”
