DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT:

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

 

We will go to one of the furthest southern locations in Lebanon, near the Lebanon-Israel frontiers. This perfectly safe location has many planted fields, as well as charming resorts and eateries.

From there, we can clearly see the following locations:

• The Golan Heights (strategic highland and hills at the southern part of the Anti-Lebanon Mountains. It remains a disputed territory between Syria and the occupied Palestinian territories)


• The Ghajar village (Alawite frontier village on the Hasbani River, half of which came under Lebanese control while the other half remains under Israeli occupation),


• Bawwebet Fatmeh (frontier gate separating Lebanon from the Occupied Palestinian territories)


• Al Wazzani (a small village in Hasbaya - Nabatieh, located north of the frontiers. It stands on the Hasbani river, has numerous planted fields, and at its proximity, you can find the Wazzani spring - the main water source feeding the Hasbani river).

 

HIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy, 4 to 6 for intermediate, 7 to 9 for strenuous.
Our hike will be divided into 2 levels:

 

L2 and L4 will first walk together by the crest of the mountain looking over the Khiam plain. From there, one can clearly see the Ghajar village and occupied territories. No major climbing in view during this hike and it will be a moderate one.

L2 easy trail and walk we will walk for a while then go by bus to Hosn Wazzani Resort and await the arrival of the remaining hikers to have lunch together at the restaurant.

L4 will continue walking through fields, where farmers will be busily planting crops. Hikers will finally reach a location where the Golan Heights and the Ghajar village are only a few meters away!

 

Before lunch at the resort, those who want can have a swim in the river (so don’t forget your swimwear). Or, we can tan in the sun or just relax after the hike.

 

We will take our lunch by the river, at the Hosn Wazzani Resort, which is known for its unique rural style.

 

After lunch, we will take the bus to see Bawwebet Fatmeh.

 

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

Distancing from each other is a must.
