We promised you of picturesque hikes in the Chouf, and we always keep our promises. This time we are going to walk from Worhanieh to Nabeh el Safa. It is a beautiful hike along the top of the mountain, overlooking great views of the region. Starting from Worhanieh, you will hike along the cliffs to Freidis, then to Kafra, Victoria, Bmehray and finally to Nabeh el Safa. The views are breathtaking. You will get to see the Cedar reserve of Ain Zhalta, the bridge of Dahr el Baidar, the mountains of Sannine and Kneiseh.

This time, will be heading to Kfardebian, the highest village in Keserwan district for an overnight. Kfardebian is renowned for being the village of all seasons where the largest ski resort in the Middle East is located and summer festivities make it an unescapable destination. Similar to every overnight event, you can participate to the 2 days or only participate in the second day for an unforgettable hike.

A special hiking is what is waiting for you this coming Saturday. Kfardebian is the town of all seasons and the capital of mountain tourism in Lebanon. Comfortably situated in the heights of Keserwan, Kfardebian derives its name from the Semitic language, and it may be originated in the Syriac language, meaning “The Town of Deers”. Rising between 900 to well above 2000 meters, and spanning over an area of roughly 40 Square Kilometers, it is one of the largest towns in Lebanon. This trail will be a beautiful and remote one. We will walk alongside the routes that the skiers take by ski lifts in the winter. Those who make it to the summit of Mzaar, will be rewarded with a spectacular panorama of the area, very similar to that of Sannine’s summit, but clearer due to less fog engulfing the area. Jabal Al Mzaar (Mountain of the Sanctuary) is the highest mountain in Ouyoun Al Simane. It was given that name after a small roman temple built on top. It is said that the Romans used fire signals to communicate with Baalbeck from Faqra and Mzaar. The temple was destroyed during the civil war, and a small shrine was built on top of it in 2004 that stands there today.

Ain Ebel – the bride of the South Located in southern Lebanon, less than 5km from the Lebanese-Palestinian border, Ain Ebel is a splendid historical village known for its beautiful nature and stunning views of the surrounding landscape. With its plentiful natural water wells, Ain Ebel has been a site of human habitation from prehistoric to present times, and is now home to tens of thousands of olive trees, some of which are hundreds of years old.
