Description

Afkule is an area of ​​forest, mountains, and sea. The forest is home to mainly smaller birds, from Solsort and Rødhals to Sorthovedet Sanger and Fuglekonge. At the lookout point, you'll find birds like Klippespætmejse and Klippesvale, as well as larger birds like Ravn, Musvåge, Vandrefalk and Rørhøg. It's a short trail that is beautiful in itself, but with the bird sounds you experience an even greater sense of wilderness.

Access

Afkule is located 15 km southwest of the town of Fethiye. Parking depends on the weather. If it's dry (enough), you can reach the hiking trail by car or sturdy scooter. If not, you'll need to park well in advance. The last part is definitely on foot, a bit of a scramble over uneven and hilly terrain. Press "P" on the map for directions to a parking spot.
