Azibe waterfall hike, shouf to jezzine
Dear hikers,
On Sunday the 1st of February, prepare yourself for an event that combine 2 destinations: hiking from Niha to Azibe spring, and azibe waterfall.
The name Niha is used by four Lebanese cities: Niha, Zahlé; Niha, Batroun; Niha, Tyre and Niha, Chouf. The word neeha is Syriac and denotes to the place the character of calm, peaceful.
It is a town in the Chouf which belongs to Mount Lebanon of Lebanon. The town is 44 miles from Beirut, and it has about 3,750 hectares; there are 6,500 inhabitants of Druze and Christian.
It is famous because of its olive groves and its grapes, apples, plums and almonds production. Its tourist attractions are the church of Saint Joseph, El Qa’ah Spring, Job’s tomb and Niha’s Castle. Like all Lebanon’s corners, Niha owns a cultural or historical richness that dwells in the heritage of the country. Lebanese singer Wadih El Safi was born in Niha.
Jezzine has many landmarks, such as the old municipality hall + farid serhal palace, a monumental oriental style building. It is also known for its ponds and lakes and is known as the city of falls, because of its famous waterfall (40 meter high).
Description of the trail:
We will start hiking from Al Nabi Ayoub shrine heading south over the hills (1500 m) where the barouk mountains are snow-capped to our left and we walk on a path on sandy rocks carved by water until we reach the beautiful Ezeba River. We will walk about 2 km on its banks and then we go to the hills above Jezzine, and then we descend through azibe waterfall which will be so copious this time of the year after the winter season, coming down from the snowy mountains of barouk and niha twins.
The trail will lead us to discover several springs, pure nature, azibe river and waterfall as well as splendid views will take your breath away.
