\"Point<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\n

Starting at Haqlet al-Heya, the trail passes ”Qornet-ar-Raheb” on its way to Ain-Nassouh (like T1). There, it leaves the major Mihal valley to the adjacent ‘Azr, a beautiful forest of iron oaks and many other species, winds its way up to the Wardiyat orchards, crossed by a side-road.<\/p>\n

A rather steep path leads to a pass at 1830m facing strange rock formations near at-Tellaj, where snow remains hiding from the sun rays until summer. A short detour allows the visit of the sinkhole and of a curious cleft in the culminating cliff, part of the highest summit of the area.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Point<\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n\n

Downhill starts (400m). First to the ”Ouyoun an-Nkhaa” water spring, 1700m, then to \u2018\u2019Mathqoubeh\u2019\u2019, a wide-open punctured grotto, to follow from there on, agricultural and internal roads among apple and cherry orchards, in small successive ups & downs, all the way to Aqoura (Point C).<\/p>\n

Passing during picking-up seasons is a real delight, experiencing hospitability and witnessing beehive activity of the locals.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
