Kfardebian Mzar Hike with Vamos Todos
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.
