Tag along to Discover the beauty of Haqlet el Heya. Hiking through this part of ehmej will lead to a plethora of stunning views, botanical beauties and the whiff of wild herbs Rugged hills, jagged peaks, ancient trees and wild orchards. Ehmej has 2 possible origins:Aramaic,meaning “the hidden” because it is located between various forests, the second is Syriac,meaning “top of the valley”. Along the way, you will see a high vertical isolated rock known as "Qornet-ar-Râheb" or “The Monk's peak , Inscriptions carved into a giant rock here date the village back to the Roman Age. You will cross many species of wild trees like the Wild pear trees. Also called the ghost tree because they are usually covered in white, in winter the snow and in spring white berries.” Apricot trees are well known.However their wild ancestor, Armeniaca vulgaris, is now rare and in danger of extinction.Their fruits are delicious and a bit more sour. Iris Sofarana is an endemic species of Mount Lebanon, occuring naturally only in this region.It grows only on a low herbaceous vegetarian and rocky slopes in mountainous regions between 1300 and 1700 meters of altitude.Their life span is very short (4 to 5 days). The trail then goes through Al Qantara, a natural arch of stone. Moss covers much of the rock. Always remember, whenever you are lost, that moss grows on the north side.The rocky slopes under the summit of El Wata, at an altitude ranging between 1650 to 1800 meters and partly covered by a small forest of iron oak (Quercus cerris), constitute the natural habitats of El-Dichar with a high diversity of plant species. More than twenty species of tree can be found, mostly deciduous, with species of oak, maples, and whitebeams, but also some evergreen tree species of junipers. @escape_intothewild 📷 #escape_intothewild #haqletelheya #wadielneznazi #neznazivalley #ehmej #byblos #Lebanon #beirut #hiking #hikinglebanon #hikingtrail #hikingadventures #hikingevent #adventureseeker #adventure_time #adventure #sunset #lebanonhiking #lebanonmountains #lebanonactivities #lebanonhikingtrail #photography #landscapephotography #bluesky #blueplanet #mountains #nature #naturephotography #trees #forest (at اهمج) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHTd5eWpokh/?igshid=1px0eefqufsc7

The trail then goes through Al Qantara, a natural arch of stone. Moss covers much of the rock. Always remember, whenever you are lost, that moss grows on the north side.The rocky slopes under the summit of El Wata, at an altitude ranging between 1650 to 1800 meters and partly covered by a small forest of iron oak (Quercus cerris), constitute the natural habitats of El-Dichar with a high diversity of plant species. More than twenty species of tree can be found, mostly deciduous, with species of oak, maples, and whitebeams, but also some evergreen tree species of junipers. @escape_intothewild 📷 #escape_intothewild #haqletelheya #wadielneznazi #neznazivalley #ehmej #byblos #Lebanon #beirut #hiking #hikinglebanon #hikingtrail #hikingadventures #hikingevent #adventureseeker #adventure_time #adventure #sunset #lebanonhiking #lebanonmountains #lebanonactivities #lebanonhikingtrail #photography #landscapephotography #bluesky #blueplanet #mountains #nature #naturephotography #trees #forest (at Ehmej Jbeil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLkUc2Jrk6/?igshid=u4zswbg1q7j4

Along the way, you will see a high vertical isolated rock known as "Qornet-ar-Râheb" or “The Monk's peak , Inscriptions carved into a giant rock here date the village back to the Roman Age. You will cross many species of wild trees like the Wild pear trees. Also called the ghost tree because they are usually covered in white, in winter the snow and in spring white berries.” Apricot trees are well known.However their wild ancestor, Armeniaca vulgaris, is now rare and in danger of extinction.Their fruits are delicious and a bit more sour. Iris Sofarana is an endemic species of Mount Lebanon, occuring naturally only in this region.It grows only on a low herbaceous vegetarian and rocky slopes in mountainous regions between 1300 and 1700 meters of altitude.Their life span is very short (4 to 5 days).

Discover the beautiful village of Kfour with its generous springs and diverse greeneries. The Kfour area has an amphitheater shape, that starts from 400m and rises to 1000m.It offers a180 degree view of the coast between the Bay of Jounieh and Beirut. The "Sentier des sources" or "The trail of the springs" is named after the five water sources that occupy kfour’s valley: Breich’s source, Mikhael’s source, El Krum’s source, Al Sefsafi’s source and Henbles source. These five sources feed rich flora such as pines, oaks, cedars, olive trees and fruit trees creating a heavenly scent. The streams gushing through the rocks participate in the ambient freshness of the trail. Each source is labeled with a story of how it was discovered. Interesting short stories worthy of reading. Along the trail there are several relaxation spots where you can sit down and enjoy the beauty of nature. There are multiple abandoned ancient village houses which you can enter and contemplate the beauty of their architectural design. The old Silk factory was built by Mikhael Kfoury, a man who seeked refuge in this region during the world war 1. He fled the Nabatiyeh area because of war and famine and started planting white mulberry trees that are necessary for silkworms. He then discovered water sources nearby and later on, this water source was named after him. He then established the silk factory providing some new seasonal work opportunities for the locals. You can also find three stunning churches: Saint Charbel, Saint George and Saint Marie de l’Enchif. @escape_intothewild 📷 #escape_intothewild #kfour #sentierdessources #jounieh #adma #ghineh #Lebanon #beirut #hiking #hikinglebanon #hikingtrail #hikingadventures #hikingevent #adventureseeker #adventure_time #adventure #sunset #lebanonhiking #lebanonmountains #lebanonactivities #lebanonhikingtrail #photography #landscapephotography #bluesky #blueplanet #mountains #nature #naturephotography #trees #forest (at Kfour, Kesrouane, Mt Lebanon, Lebanon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF8_OMcJB6l/?igshid=6ipqdyenbf3f
