The Sufi Trail is a long distance hiking trail from Istanbul to Konya. It would take an average person 40 days to complete the Sufi Trail.

It runs through amazing nature and idyllic old villages with monumental mosques, hidden treasures and even an underwater city in İznik, where Christianity began and an underground town in Han. The mystical atmosphere is very present in the hidden old trails where caravans used to pass by but also the many tombs you visit on this route are full of ancient secrets you can only sense when present.

Together with the help of many ever so kind people, counsels, and of course “OpenStreetMap” we established a respectable hiking trail of 801 km through amazing Turkey. We used the old Hajj trail and included tombs to visit and many surprises you just should experience yourself.

In the meantime, there are many people working on fine-tuning the details in OpenStreetMap and up-dating the GPX track, website and media.

You can view all the pictures we made along the way and the movies from events we organized to get the Trail marked with GR-codes and stickers we have developed to mark the Sufi Trail.
