    Is geen trailrun route. Wel een mooie route voor een hike.

    Nice wadi not too far from Amman. The beginning is a bit tough but fine, then definitely worth going all the way up to the cascades and small pool.

    The trail was as desribed, easy to follow, much more challenging then WAdi Himara but not much more beautul landscapewise.
    Unfortunately we were not able to get to the farest spot. I have the impression, that after ca 3,1km ( after a nice tiny mini tunnel, which is nice for a brak in the shadow) there was problably a landslip last winter: There was a lot of instable rough sandstone, where we couln't pass. The gap directly at the waterfall in a kind of cave was too small to squeeze through. Anyway we foumd on our way back anohter tiny pool with a great "hydromaassage" waterfall,just perfect.
    ... And if somebody finds a 500ml blue silicone drinking bottle from Kalenji, it was not thrown away - we lost it ...
