DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT:

======================

This time we are going for a sunset hike in the stunning Ozer Forest at Kfardebian village.
The name Kfardebian originates from the Semitic language and perhaps descended from the Syriac, which gives it the meaning of “The Village of Deers”. The history of the village goes way back to an era that is still obscure because of the absence of archeological and historical assets.
The ruins of Faqra, the traditional Lebanese houses, the old and new bridges, and the remaining mills in the Valley of the Cross are the best proofs of the importance of the village and its rich historical originality.

We will hike around 10Km together in one group as level 4, for just 3,30 hours, will start at Nabeh El-Laban, it will lead us to a wonderful old natural bridge of rocks carved by water millions of years ago and there you can take as many of photos as you desire then to the impressive remains of a Roman temple and a citadel built on ancient foundations still dominate the scene, giving a view over the astounding gorge. The second part of the trail at the Golden Ozer Forest is easy and open to a panoramic view. The protected forest contains chestnut, oak, Turkish oak, pine, cedar and other tree species.
At the end of our hike, we will watch the sunset, overlooking the spectacular simultaneous sea and mountain, and reach breathtaking views exposed to moonlight.

As usual, we will end this night’s adventure with a cozy gathering around a fire camp for a homemade Mankoushe dinner on a Saj, boil tea, and roasted potatoes cooked by local villagers.
