Our last hiking was in Belgrad Forest on the European side of Istanbul. We meet new friends and people who never hiked in the forest before.
During the first hour we spent it hiking into the forest and explore the eastern side of it, heading north toward the black sea! next we after about half an hour we decided to stop for tea break.
During the break we made a circle and everyone started to get to better know the other persons .
Our trip ended about 4 hours later and we decided to sit on a table enjoy the weather and water streaming near us on the exit of the forest park.
Distance
The total distance was about 8kms, approximately 12K steps
Difficulty
Most of the forest has tiny hills but not more than 100m high however, Our hiking was mostly flat and barely had any hills.
