Route Details
Alıçlı village, located along the Garzan River, and Ayngebire are within the boundaries of Kozluk district. This route is suitable for butterfly watching, day hiking, and camping activities.
Alıçlı village and Ayngebire can be reached by vehicle in any season. The starting point of the route is Alıçlı (Norşen) village. Starting from the eastern part of the Garzan River that divides the village, you walk along the trails in the village toward Ayngebire Valley for about 3 km. From there, there is a 7-8 km walking trail along the stream to Ayngebire. The path can be rocky at times and dirt at other times. You pass below Kozluk Castle, cross through the gardens, and reach the bridge. After a short distance on the asphalt road, you walk through the plane trees along the stream to reach Şat, then proceed to the Ayngebire picnic area. From Ayngebire, there is a very pleasant trail along the valley to the waterfall. After the waterfall, the path becomes less defined, so you return along the same path to the Ayngebire picnic area, and the hike ends.
The Ayngebire butterfly watching and hiking route is approximately 12-13 km. This hiking activity takes 6-7 hours depending on effort and breaks.
