Inegol – Cerrah

A small part of my childhood was spent in Inegol, of course, I broke away from Inegol when I said school was an exam, and other provinces where I spent one fourth of my life, other adventures prevented me from reliving the best memories of my childhood.

School is over, work is done, this time I was stuck in the dilemma of whether to spend the tiredness of the whole week resting or traveling, which I usually spent on the internet, I was neither resting nor traveling.

For 2 weeks I have been making a little change and going somewhere, this time my stop is the town of Cerrah in Inegol.When I was little in Cerrah, my brother, my mother and my grandmother came to Cerrah, we ate something in a relative’s house, tea, pancakes, etc. The only thing I remember was the creek passing in front of the house, and I found that creek 🙂

In the photos, there are pictures starting from the entrance to the picnic place of the surgeon, then I took pictures of the surgeon’s houses, I even took a few videos and I will upload them at the appropriate time.

When I was passing through the street of that house I just told you about in Cerrah, there were sounds of conversations coming from the wooden houses, sounds of conversations with tea and food, I officially returned to my childhood, it gave me an incredible peace, I felt like getting away from the stress of the city and the stress of business life, but walking around in the sun was not a good idea 🙂

And I don’t know if it was just me, I smelled cumin while I was wandering the streets, I don’t know if cumin grows but it did, I liked it, the dogs were walking around on Sunday morning, the sun was high but it was still pleasant.

I hope you will enjoy it a little bit with the photos. I added Cerrahı to my list of places to go to get away from stress and I recommend it to you too.

In 2011, I wrote my article and now it’s time to add a little bit to it, why, because I have somehow contributed to every street that I introduced and took pictures of historical wooden houses. We are natural gas workers and we have entered every street, we have put a box in every house, in short, Cerrah Village or neighborhood is much more than a sightseeing place for me. I drank tea in every coffeehouse, I chatted with more people than I have ever chatted with…

That’s why I have to pay a little more attention to Cerrah. If you come to Cerrah, do not pass without drinking tea in the coffee houses, and one of the famous features of Cerrah is its Toast. Yes, just as Ayvalık Toast is famous, Cerrah Toast is just as famous, maybe it is only known in İnegöl and its surroundings, but thanks to my article and your experiences, I hope we will have a Cerrah Toast as famous as Ayvalık Toast. Well, if you ask where we can eat this Cerrah Toast, the first one is the big tea garden right in the square, which already has a sign saying Cerrah Toast, and the second one is Tostçu Cemal next to the Cerrah Central Mosque. I’ve had plenty of both, they both taste good, so let’s not skip this nice variety.

This beautiful neighborhood will now be much more beautiful with natural gas, I am both proud and happy because of my contribution. Stay with love…

When you enter the picnic area of Cerrah, there is a tea garden on the left in this picture.You already feel a coolness as you enter, the coolness of the trees and the flowing streams gives peace.which is also evident from the uncles enjoying themselves in this tea garden.

There is a fountain on the left side of the place where it says welcome and there is a strong stream coming from above to the right of your welcome, there is one car coming out, but usually the cars are not inside, there is a parking lot at the beginning, if you pull in, it will be very difficult to get out, there are too many people coming and going, and vehicles.

If you want to have a picnic, the place is quite large, you can spread out in any area you find empty from the places shown in the picture, or you can sit at the picnic tables on the slopes on the left side. According to the picture, there is a stream on the right side, the choice is up to you 🙂

Cerrah Creek has a little less water because it is summer, there are plenty of frogs in the creek, I did not find anything called fish 🙂 I actually looked at the rocks to see if I could find a treasure marker, but in vain, the water of our creek is low and turbid, just for frogs 🙂

In this and the following pictures, there is always Cerrah Creek 🙂 If something interesting happens, I will make a note under it…

The left and right sides of the stream are always green and wooded, dunes were formed as a result of the erosion of the rocks by the stream, as you can see in the picture, there is forest everywhere.

The stream goes upwards, meandering, sometimes going up, sometimes going straight…

The stream is widening in this area, I wish there were fish in the stream instead of frogs, then it would be much more enjoyable, I don’t know where the water gets dirty, but it would be very nice to have clean water and watch the fish…

I didn’t get scared when I was passing through this place, it was hot, it’s not even impossible that a snake with a good head might come across me, but for some reason I didn’t see any animals except frogs, no crabs, no scorpions, no snakes, where are these animals 🙂

As I went up I wanted to see the first exit of the stream, I had a beautiful deep wide waterfall in my head, let’s see if the reality will be similar to the one in my head…

The creek gets longer and longer and we continue on our way, after the first creek I said I would write if something interesting happened, but I looked at every picture and something was going on, so I left 🙂

I think we are getting closer to our target…

As I went up, I was both surprised and frightened by this view, there were lids like dam gates in front of me, but I was asking myself where was the waterfall in my head, and I was alone while I was walking around, you know in movies with apocalyptic scenarios, the dam gates open and the water gushes out, I went right to the bottom of the gates 🙂

There is a huge lid in front of me, water is leaking, I am slightly scared, but when I saw the mechanism that lifts the lid, which is mechanical engineering in my profession, I immediately started to examine it, instead of fear, curiosity aroused 🙂

Small gears connected to the worm shaft and large gears connected to them, and finally the cover lifting mechanism was made with the krameyer gear system, it was like both work and travel 🙂

And finally I had seen the image of the waterfall in my head from a distance, let’s get closer and see what we will find…

We’re close to the waterfall and we’re just a short distance away…

And here we finally came to the point where the water is the most abundant, I don’t know how much the water is collected, I couldn’t go up, I tried to go up, but the forested area got between me and the stream and increased more and more, I’m already afraid of snakes 🙂 I said let’s not look for adventure for no reason and I declare this place as the birthplace of the surgeon stream 🙂 What would happen if that water was clean, maybe it is clean, I’ve come to the dirty time. Anyway, as a result, I don’t know exactly how long our journey started from the first picture, I guess I must have walked around 500 – 1000 meters, I saw a lot of frog beer bottles during the journey, that’s it 🙂

We talked so much about frogs that I couldn’t not put a picture of a frog, the green frog in this picture, which is just above the seyyahcelebi sign in the picture, was about the size of my open hand, it was the biggest of the small frogs I saw around, I even took a video with this frog, it was a pretty big frog as a result…

In this picture, there is a woman washing wool in the stream, when I asked about the stream, they said they didn’t know about it, I guess they were afraid of me 🙂 I think they were right, 190 height, handheld machine, a deserted stream, someone comes out of nowhere on their own 🙂

We have just finished with the pictures of the creek, in this picture we see the creek coming to the center of the town…

There is a family tea garden in the center of the surgeon, although I think it can never give the pleasure of the promenade, it is still beautiful.

Cerrah Square and Cerrah Mosque

The interesting thing in this picture is that this water is not evaluated, as I see such streams and waters, I think of a foreigner’s water words, he saw the waters in the foreign villages and said “These waters flow and flow, the Turks look and look” I think he is right, I felt the water with my hand and the flow rate is quite nice, I also took the video and I would love to get electricity by putting small small wheels right under this water, I even want to calculate how much electricity is obtained, this water flow is about 5-10 meters, I think this potential should be evaluated…

And with this picture we started to show the Cerrah Houses, in the following 17 pictures you will see the streets, you will see the wooden adobe houses in the narrow streets, you will see the silence, calmness and peace, have a good time…

I tried to introduce Cerrah, its creek, picnic place, houses, I don’t know how much I was able to reflect it with my amateurish photos, but visiting a place with a history for me after years gave me joy and peace. I went back to my childhood, while wandering the streets, I wondered if these people perceived life correctly, people who know how to be content, they eat naturally, they have fresh air, they have no stress, no noise, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was their preferences…

We introduced the surgeon but we did not mention how to come, what to eat and drink, you can come to the surgeon with your private car from the center of Bursa in 1 hour, but if you are coming by bus, you can first come to Inegöl and get on the surgeon minibuses from Inegöl, but I have no idea how much money it costs or what times it leaves.

There are grocery stores in Cerrah, you can buy bread, water, cola, whatever you want, I think there are no people selling food and drinks that are constantly standing at the picnic place, but as I said, you can get whatever you want from the grocery stores in the center of Cerrah, 5 minutes from the picnic place.

It was not easy to walk around when the sun was overhead, I think I was slightly hit by the sun, but I still enjoyed it.

I hope everyone enjoys it like me… Have fun…
