Characteristics of the Route:

The route follows the paths in the quietness of the countryside, seeing Sahinefendi village from afar, passes by the church, which tells the story of 40 Christian soldiers who refused to abandon their beliefs and sacrifice to paganist gods, crosses the fields, and ends in the Ancient Roman City of Sobesos.
