In Episode 8 of the Efeler Trail, we hiked from Kerpiçlik to the village of Lübbey — an abandoned village with no permanent residents, where people left for various reasons. In Episode 9, once I discover the real reasons behind their departure, I will explain the story in detail.

The trail itself was not very difficult. There was only one short section that required some light rock scrambling, which we honestly did not expect on a hiking route.

Along the way, we met incredibly kind and warm-hearted people. After returning home, we even brought them small gifts and continued our friendship.

As for water, this section is not a problem at all. The route passes through several summer pastures (yaylas) where water is available, and you can also ask for water at houses along the trail.

Efeler Yolu Culture Route

🎯Efeler Yolu (Efeler Way) is a 500-kilometer, multi-stage and marked hiking/trekking route, beginning from Bornova district of Izmir, passing through Nif Mountain and the Bozdağ Mountains, then turning to the plateaus of Kiraz, continuing through the Aydin Mountains, and ending at Virgin Mary House in Ephesus-Selçuk. Efeler Yolu is a culture route based on the theme of efe/zeybek culture. In this context, Efeler Yolu covers a wide geography and connects important villages that have managed to carry their cultural richness to the present day through ancient roads using virgin plateaus and mountain passes. Efeler Yolu has been recognized as one of the Green Destinations “Top 100 Stories” in 2023 for its efforts towards responsible tourism and distinctive features.

🎯Efeler Yolu consists of 28 stages, having 27 main stages and 1 alternative line. Stage lengths vary between 14 to 24 kilometres. The difficulty levels of the stages can generally be graded as medium-difficult and difficult. In this sense, Efeler Yolu is a real challenge in itself. The main stages of the Efeler Yolu are marked in red and white, and the alternative line is marked in red and yellow. In addition to standard signalling, red markings on the way provide access to mountain peaks, cultural heritage or important viewpoints on the routes. On the other hand, hikers/trekkers, if they wish can use mobile applications, such as Wikiloc, AllTrails, to follow the routes.

🎯Purpose of Efeler Yolu

The aims of the Efeler Yolu Cultural Route can be summarized as:
-to ensure the protection, promotion, and sustainability of the natural, historical, cultural, and archaeological values ​​of the villages on the route and the route stages.
-to support the economy provided through agriculture and animal husbandry by creating new areas of economic activity.
-by revitalizing social life through tourism, ensuring that young people live happier in the lands where they were born and grew up, and preventing youth migration from villages.
-to contribute to the international recognition of efe/zeybek culture by establishing its connection with nature.
