At Bakacak Plateau a kilometre north of Ãobankaya—where gondola lifts from Sarıalan terminate; accessible by a paved road from there as well as from Oteller area—you can have a large overlooking view of the region around the mountain, including the city of Bursa just north of UludaÄ, and Lake Apollonia Apolyont Gölü or Ulubat Gölü in Turkish, about 50 km to west. On your way there, you may also check out Ãobankayaâliterally "shepherd's rock"âitself, a huge granite boulder, situated on the side of the road.
