Descrizione dell'itinerario
A wonderful 16+ km hike that took us across barren mountains and through shaded cedar forests (Hadath Jibbeh and Tannourine). The hike started with a 4 km uphill climb followed by a flat then sinusoidal trail. Came across majestic ancient and young cedar trees; each tree has a story to tell. There was a few birds eye spot panning the landscape beneath - an awe and breathtaking scenery and fresh cedar-scented air.
when the group get to the start point, we were met with a "Valet Parking" sign that led to us cracking jokes that Lebanese valet service ingenuity is extending to the hikers; however, the "Valet Parking" sign was explained when we came - towards the end of the hike - across a buffet style restaurant in the middle of the woods. Customers were bused from the valet parking area to the restaurant. The restaurant had a brewery to make Arak (a Lebanese anise-tasty spirit) and many "old Lebanese town" settings. It was a wonderful distraction. I plan on bringing the family there.
A great hike and a great day.

Hello Zahi hope you're doing well.
I know that Hadath Jebbe cedar forest is basically a mine field, could you please let me know if this is easy trail to follow yet safe?
Thank you.

Yes the Hadath el jebbe Forest represents a danger.
But no panic, mines are further west inside the Forest, towards Niha and along the cliff.
We were using the current trail for a few years with big hiking groups, until 2018 when the Lebanese army closed it partially. I think they included just the whole Forest in the secure zone. Hadath people were wondering why.
So I wouldn't say high danger, but ok closed is closed.
As soon as you see a panel "danger mines", stick on the east side of the mountain, there is a nice trail heading down to Hadath, between the Forest and the road.
Perfectly safe.
Awesome news Christian, thanks a lot for your comment.
Thank you for this. I followed it today but had to edit the last part since I was solo hiking and was worried to lose myself into the mine area
