For a nice, shaded spot and a combination of roads, hills, and trails, head to Atatürk Urban Forest, located 10 km west of Bursa in the Odunluk neighborhood. There are nice views from this 370-acre hilltop park, also known as Atatürk Urban Forest. Overall, there are 3.5 km of parquet road, and 6.5 km of walking/bicycle path. One can run to the summit on the main road (no shoulder but not too much traffic), or use some of narrower hiking/walking trails. The footing is not challenging. One can also drive to the summit and run from there. The main hiking trail is a ~2 km loop, climbing ~100m.
