Itinerary description
I do this hike every couple of years. It is a highland hike mostly on dirt roads.
Try to do this trail early spring or in the fall to avoid the excruciating sun. Having said that, I also enjoy doing it ion the summer where the gold color of the vegetation is dominant.
Waypoints
Apple Warehouse / Cottage
This place has been under construction for a long time; but I see progress.
Water Spring
a first and last spring on this route. Great place to cool off. It is also a picnic area.
Elias Khoury Church Of The Cross
This person, I am told, is from the town of Marjeyoun and married to a lady from Mtayn. He built this church for the believers to visit on weekends.
Zaarour Ski Station
Highest point in the hike. There is a man-built balcony here; a great place to have a break and enjoy the 360-degree views of the landscape.
Caves I
These caves are in a rock formation. It is a bit difficult to access them. These caves are the highlight of the trail. Please please be careful, DO NOT GO IN if you are not an expert in caving.
Fawwar Dara
I suspect this is a whole created by a meteorite. It is a perfect circle surrounded by vertical circular rock walls.
