The story of this route
Bursa and its surroundings are full of monumental trees that have stood for centuries. The most famous, the İnkaya plane tree, is said to be about 600 years old, which means it has stood there since the first Ottoman centuries.
We talk about how a tree's age is estimated, the place of the plane tree in Ottoman stories, and the tree that shaded the whole world in Osman Gazi's dream. We build the plan together, around the trees you want to see and the time you have.
