Köyceğiz, Ortaca, Dalaman
Sweetgum Route
A route between the sweetgum (liquidambar) trees! The sweetgum tree can only live in a few regions on the Earth: America, Chine, and fortunately, in southwest Anatolia. The first half of the route passes through in the sweetgum forests. Some passages are just like a "jungle"! Toparlar Waterfall, at the north of the course, is an ideal point for cooling off in the summer months.
