Göynük and the forest lakes

A driving route from Sünnet Lake, formed when landslides blocked the valley, to the Cittaslow town of Göynük; after the historic houses, the tomb of Akşemseddin, teacher of Fatih Sultan Mehmet, and the wooden Victory Tower built in memory of the National Struggle, it ends at Çubuk Lake with its windmill and Sülüklügöl, where pine trunks are preserved in the water.
