DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT:
=========================
The Apple Forest or Mazraat Teffah is a magnificent green forest of pine and oak trees that is getting larger and larger, making it one of the best places in the world.
We will follow old stone paths, listen to the rush of fresh water at three different springs, and traverse tree forests. It is like passing through a tunnel of greenery and the views are breathtaking.
HIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy, 4 to 6 for intermediate, 7 to 9 for strenuous
Our hike will be divided into 3 levels.
LEVEL 4 About 8 Km, will start from Sebaal village, from an old historical church called Mar Doumit where Youssef Beik Karam defeated the Turks. We will take the path near “Shir el Ahmar“, passing through tree forests that will lead us to Mazraet Rachtamout and the Church of Martmoura. After refilling our bottles with fresh water, we will walk uphill and have lunch at Nabeh Ozit. Afterward, we will take the bus to a huge waterfall at “Nabeh El Keif” where you can take unforgettable pictures.
LEVEL 5 About 11 Km, will continue from Nabeh Ozit. We will take an amazing uphill trail following a water pipe where the stunning mountainous landscape is impressive, with trees seemingly defying gravity by growing on extremely vertical slopes. We will reach the great waterfall of Nabeh El Keif where we will meet the other group and head to Mazraat Teffah village. The most beautiful views you can ever imagine will lie in front of you.
LEVEL 6 About 12 Km, will then take a path downhill and will cross a narrow bridge that is high and open on both sides. Then we will pass by a spring and mill “Ziret Et Tine” with a beautiful water reservoir in the rocks. The views are remarkable. You just have to be there to believe! From there we will continue uphill to meet the rest of the group at the great waterfall then to the village.
On our way back we will stop at Bnachaeh Lake where there is a Wildlife Taxidermy Museum. It is a great place to end the hike.
Live it up! It will be a memorable day!
