DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT: ====================== Mokhtara - seat of Jumblat Family, the leader of Druze Community in Lebanon, will definitely mark your minds and souls with its colorful, fresh, and beautiful nature all day long. We will walk a splendid trail beside the river; our sky will be even green. We will cross many bridges; the most famous one is The Birket El Arous Bridge. It was built at the end of the Mamluk era, as indicates the Arabic inscription engraved on one of its stones “Month of Safar, year 913 Hijri, 1507 AD”. It is a part of a complex network of bridges and trails built in the valley of Barouk by the Mamluks and later the Ottomans. HIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy, 4 to 6 for intermediate, 7 to 9 for strenuous LEVEL 3 (4 km) will walk a loop trail in Mokhtara and will start from Our Lady Church. You will experience the fascinating Lebanese wild nature with its colorful trees and herbs, chirping birds, fresh breeze, and rushing water. The scenery is really beyond description. You will have enough time for meditation, photo shooting, and fun. You will have lunch at the Bride bridge and then you will go to visit Jumblat Castle and maybe meet Mr. Walid Jumblat. Level 5 (11 km) is a bit tough. The view you get to see from the valley is beyond imagination. You will start with level 3 and split at some point to take a trail that leads to Amatour. You will pass by many mills and cross many bridges; the last one is a wooden one beside a natural ‘pool’. You will have lunch somewhere besides the river, rest a bit and then continue to Bater. Level 6 (15 km) This part of the trail is uphill at the end and requires good physical strength. |
