Places of interest

At Bakacak Plateau a kilometre north of Çobankaya—where gondola lifts from Sarıalan terminate (the second stop of the cableway, it is located within a forest at a height of 1.651 meters); accessible by a paved road from there as well as from Oteller area (area where all hotels are clustered) — you can have a large overlooking view of the region around the mountain, including the city of Bursa just north of Uludağ, and Lake Apollonia (Apolyont Gölü or Ulubat Gölü in Turkish), about 50 km to west. On your way there, you may also check out Çobankaya (accessible via the cableway from Sarıalan and road from the hotel site, is 1.700 and is 15 km from the national park entrance.)—literally "shepherd's rock"—itself, a huge granite boulder, situated on the side of the road.
