Descrizione dell'itinerario
This trail is located in the Serjbal village in the Chouf district of Mount Lebanon. The trail started from the Serjbal Municipality Building. The trail starts on pavement/cement steep road for about 600+ meters then you dive into heaven! The minute you set foot on dirt path, you are in awe. The trail takes you down to the river bank where you walk by the side of thr rive until you reach the Fkhayti (Arabic word meaning a hole between two mountains). From Fkhayti, the trail leaves the river bank into a moderate uphill trail towards the St. Abda (mar Abda) church in Fkhayti. We took a tea break at the church and continued into the Fkhayti sector of Dibbiyyeh (there was a road that is actually carved of stones) and into Benwayti; this section of the road was in oak and pine forest and part on dirt road.
The trail then took a downhill turn to reach an area on the river called Tayyab (Duct mouth) Chaaya (Isaiah). A pond named after some Isaiah that drowned there years & years ago. The are is so beautiful that made the trail ending better than the beginning.

Is the trail clear and well marked even without the app?
Yes.
Pay attention for the Nab3 El Sittat signs (you don't want to miss it); it is the highlight of the trail. Also, if you want to avoid the steep uphill pavement at the end, I recommend you use the last trail I did there starting from Shamaarine (do it in reverse); it is much easier.
