DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT:

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

The river has a unique beauty drawn by the hands of God. It renders possible the cultivation of several small private properties, watering the gardens and plots of farmland in Kfar Helda, Beit Shlela, and Bsetines el Ossi. The Ruins of many monasteries, mills, and churches are scattered around the villages.

 

We will get the chance to walk the valley along the riverbank of Nahr El Jawz on a road dated back to the Roman Empire, where we can take a lot of unforgettable pictures.

The stunning mountainous landscape, with walnut and oak forests seemingly defying gravity and growing on extremely vertical slopes, is impressive; the scenery is great.

 

HIKING LEVEL: 1 to 3 for easy, 4 to 6 for intermediate, 7 to 9 for strenuous.

 

Our hike will be into one level:

Level 4; its downhill, an easy and beautiful trail of just 9 KM. We will start from Tannourine el Tahta village at Naher El Jawz River and take the path near the river and the "Waterfalls" passing through trees and bushes that will lead us to the source Nabaa Dalli. We may benefit from a swim in the clean transparent water as well. After crossing the old mills, the scenery changes from this stage. We will pass through a terrestrial of different kinds of trees, giving the impression of being in a jungle. Will be charmed above all by the trees along the river banks and the walnut trees that grow in preference close to the water and give the river its name. Part of the trail is straight with old stone steps.

Protect yourself and others around you by knowing the facts and taking appropriate precautions:

Distancing from each other is a must.
