Eren Mountain is located an hour away from the town of Fethiye and the top is 2860 meters high. There are many different mountain trails to explore the slopes or you can choose the easy option and drive the Göğübeli Geç mountain pass and make stops along the way, but you don't get as high up the mountain. Either way you will see many interesting birds. Among the birds you could see are kanárik vrchovský, iránka bielohrdlá, skaliar modrý, bocian čierny, strnádka sivokrká, penica majstrovská, myšiak hrdzavý and hadiar krátkoprstý.
