The road past the park gate continues south and eventually joins D230 Kütahya - Balıkesir highway, so you might drive up from that side and avoid Bursa. In Turkish, Uludağ means " great mountain". In ancient times the range of which it is a part, extending along the southern edge of Bithynia, was known as Olympos in Greek and Olympus in Latin, the western extremity being known as the Mysian Olympus and the eastern as the Bithynian Olympus, [2] and the city of Bursa was known as Prusa ad Olympum from its position near the mountain. [3] Throughout the Middle Ages, it contained hermitages and monasteries: "The rise of this monastic centre in the 8th c. and its prestige up to the 11th are linked to the resistance of numerous monks to the policy of the iconoclast emperors and then to a latent opposition to the urban, Constantinopolitan monasticism of the Studites." [4] One of the greatest monks of the Christian East, the wonder-working Byzantine monk Saint Joannicius the Great, lived as a hermit on this mountain.

Wild camping is permitted away from the tourist zones. This is a good option for exploring the eastern lakes, but the alpine meadows are fragile so practice Leave-no-trace camping. Paths elsewhere are sparsely trodden. You can even hike up from the lowlands, for instance from Zeyniler to Sarıalan, or from Saitabat to Kilimli lake (15 km). Either will take most of a day, sweating and swatting at flies, while thinking of the cable car fare you've saved.

By road follow D575 south from Çekirge in Bursa, which winds up for 22 km to the national park gate at Karabelen. It continues as a good tarmac road for 8 km to the turn-off to Sarıalan, then another 4 km brings you to the fork for the old or new hotel zones. In winter, snow chains may be required to proceed beyond the park gate. Roadside stalls will be delighted to sell you these for ten times the garage price, and they'll probably be made of liquorice. Even if the road is clear of snow, it may be icy in the shadow of the trees, so winter driving rules apply. Bakacak is a forested plateau reached by continuing north from Çobankaya.
