📜 DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT:
========================
This ⏳time you are going for a hike while enjoying the fresh air and 👓 watching the beautiful 🌿Autumn in Shouf area. So, don’t miss the opportunity to contemplate the sky and the nature of the region from the Cedars reserve, where we are going to be.
The forest is combined with different forests, like 🌳 junipers, hairy oaks, cypresses, 🌲 cedars, and Cilician firs. The forest is to be counted among the most beautiful 🍂🍁🍂 forests in 🇱🇧 Lebanon.
You will 🚶 walk for a couple of hours between the beautiful 🌲 cedars forest 🔭 overlooking the villages of Mount Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea.
🌿🥾 HIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy, 4 to 6 for intermediate, 7 to 9 for strenuous.
Our hike will be divided into 2 levels:
Both Levels will start from the entrance of Arz Barouk forest, walking along the cliff 🔭 overlooking the entire plain of Shouf. You will see the 🏺 oldest cedar tree aged 3000 years, and a beautiful tree Lamartine (or Sawma’a).
🥇 LEVEL 3 (trail of 1.5 hours approximately) from the beautiful Artificial Lake, you’ll take a dirty road (Hoopoe track) to Masief el Mir, then will take the 🚌 bus to the entrance of Maasser Al-Shouf. You can take a lot of unforgettable pictures there. The scenery is great!
🥈 LEVEL 4 (about 8 km) Our trail is easy; you will head to Maasser Al-Shouf. From Masief el Mir, you’ll descend another 🥾 road (Crow Track) to the entrance of the reserve, where you will meet level 3 under Lamartine Tree. You will have minimal time for rest.
Fresh air and a calm atmosphere out in nature is the best way to spend an autumn day.
