2-Hour Forest Tour:

This is a relatively smooth road paved with cobblestones so it is perfect for galloping. The route heads towards Twin Peaks (İkiz Tepeler). We take a break in the forest immediately behind Twin Peaks after a one-hour ride. We return to the hotel passing in front of Twin Peaks and through the village.
