行程描述
The hike started from the Virgin Mary church in Mokhtara and went down along the Barouk river all the way to Haret Jandal and back. The trail has breathtaking scenery as well as an assembly of water mills, Roman, and Ottoman bridges. at the end of the trail, we passed by the Bride's pond (birkit al arous in Arabic). All in all the scenery was exceptional.
The trail is a long and challenging trail; especially at this time because of the grown weeds along the trail. The great thing is we enciuntered the municipality workers who were clearing the trail from weeds and preparing it for the hiking season.
Do recommend the trail for those who are fit.
I rated this trail as difficult because of the overgrown bushes along the path which were impeding our movement.

Ottomam Bridge
Ottoman bridges are usually less fancy than Roman bridges and made with smaller stones. The top of the bridge is not as smooth also.

Cave
This cave has a metal door; I couldn't think of any use for it except, maybe, a shelter.

Water Mill
Lebanon used to have many water mills built close to rivers to grind all kinds of grains. This one is among few that is still in good shape and will be renovated by the Mokhtara municipality.

nice trail, the path was easy to follow on the app, though we did face some obstacles on the trail
what obstacles and where on the trail?
it seems the winter was harsh and the trail was blocked by some fallen rocks which we climbed over, and as u mentioned in your description, there were some bushes we had to go through.
Hello! How did you get there from Beirut using bus transportation system?
I used my car. There is no public transportation that I know of to take you there.
Okay thank you

Thank you Zahi, we did this trail today. It was truly amazing. The scenery is just sooo beautiful and the hike itself is difficult (as written in the description) and fun at the same time.
I love your other trails, as well. Can’t wait to walk them (:
Enjoy hiking and Live life to the fullest
I did it today and alone. It's very hard but deadly beautiful. I cried and felt stuck many times but it did feel great. It is very powerful when mother nature guides and heals. Thanks zahi.
I am glad you enjoyed the hike. Even though I don't encourage people to hike alone, but being one with nature is like being reborn anew.
Keep on hiking.

Thanks for sharing such a nice trail Zahi! I just completed it a while ago. The scenery is wonderful, the river, the bridge, the water falls, the mills....it was simply superb.
As you rightly mentioned in your description in some places it is really hard to find the trail as it is not blazed or marked at all which makes it a bit challenging.
Overall a nice trail for good hikers to enjoy!
NB: I rated the easy to follow as 3 just because the trail isn’t marked however with Zahi’s waypoints it wasn’t a big issue.
Thanks for the review
Keep on hiking
I will tray this trail tomorrow, thanks to share 🌹

Nice trail and beautiful scenery. The trail was well maintained and therefore clean from obstacles or bush. The Shouf biosphere reserve are maintaining part of the trail and are taking an entrance fee of 7000 LL at the starting point (St. Mary church). We had our lunch near the end of the trail after the waterfall next to the river bed. A fire pit was already setup and its a good spot to swim in the river.
Thank you Zahi for sharing.
Thanks for the review
Keep on hiking

Thank you zahi. I followed this trail today. This trail has recently been added to shouf reserve trail. Thus anyone entering shall pay the usual small amount entrance fee . I considered the trail moderate +. The trail was well maintained, cleared and cleaned from bushes, summer spikes or any obstacles.
Glad you enjoyed the trail.
Keep on hiking.
Can I depend on the app for the location all the way on the trail? Or will I get lost?
Is it this good in this time of the year?
Did this trail in beginning of Jan 25 and is a wonderful trail...the gpx track is still very much on point and the trail is suitable to do with a dog, minus some sections where rock hopping is required....we had a lot of fun and the scenaries are very diverse especially compared to the 2nd part of the trail...thank you!
