Nice trip through beautiful landscape, thanks for posting itMichael Ohnmacht
An exquisite trail in a lovely area with amazing scenaries. I started at Jisr Al Qadi, wandering around the beautiful vintage bridge and many ruins.
Then, before u venture in the pine forest, there’s a small section of ...
Technical hard but amazing trail by the River upon return point you will enjoy the orange gardens and ruins. You have to cross the river at a certain point to be able to finish the loop trail.
Jisr el Qadi is a village on the Damour River between Beiteddine and Souk el-Gharb. Jisr El-Qadi is a compound name where “Jisr” means bridge and El-Qadi means judge. A Mameluke period judge and prince named Zayn ALddeen...
It's been a while I wanted to do this hike. I am sure it can be joined to Kfarmatta hike (check Track 69).
It was good I didn't do it before but instead went during this period.
I wouldn't recommend it in winter or earl...
Nice trail but shameful blackmail. The restaurant asked me for 20 dollars for entering. I have to do the trail in revers...kevininlebanon

The trail was splendid, pleasant and refreshing walking along a beautiful river’s bank. The first 4 km took longer than usual due to the tough rocky terrain. In some areas we had to leave the river’s bank and climb aroun...
This trail is about 30 minutes away from home. A beautiful natural wonder of a combination of forest, rock, and walk by the Damour river. I will let the pictures tell the story.
An easy trail.
Unfortunately it is not possible to walk the loop anymore. The path next to the river is blocked many times and at some ...karimsahyounDear Zahi, i have been following you for long and would like to talk to you about an app that we (European Union) are fi...Olivier Boudart
This is a must do trail. Half of it is near the river with splendid sceneries. Advisable for all hikers. At the end of the trail, try the delicious raspberry on the way.

You can park the car around the bridge area in Jisr El Qadi village. From there you can walk your way (down) to the river bed.
This river is called "Damour river", one of the most unique rivers in Lebanon. From the rock...
A tough hike in the summer.
This trail is better done during the early spring.
a nice hike but the beautiful part of the trail is not well kept. Also, it seems that local dwellers are felling trees down and in some par...
One of the best river hikes I did in Lebanon. First 4 km was hiking next to the river Bank. It took 1 hr/km as almost all the way there were Bolder/Rock formation to cross. The views were waw. Only experienced hikers sho...
This hike although has nice views, the second half does not have a defined used trail. I would not recommend it as mentioned above, specially in the summer. This is an Autumn/Winter hike.
It was planned as a loop, but co...
Don’t think twice go ahead and walk this splendid trail. Half of this trail is a beautiful walk near the river’s bank. Best season to walk it is during April - May. Advisable for all hikers. Enjoy
This trail is one of the most beautiful trails. it's wonderfully beautiful. Walking on the river bank is possible all year round, and watching the huge carved rocks that have formed a tunnel-like passage is wonderful and...

Don’t do it haha
I managed to follow someone’s trail but it kept leading us into private property. So we ended up creating our own trail.
For some reasons trails in the Chouf region have been very dirty and not tak...
Moderate hike in Kfarmatta, Lebanon. Started at Jisr El Kadi, descended to the river, and explored the surrounding area. Beautiful scenery featuring old houses and lush greenery. A pleasant walk with some gentle inclines...

Well, we were stuck in the bushes for a while and it looks like spring strange weather!! Thanks againMohamad Jarrah
This trail was one of my favorite trails but unfortunately the path near the river is blocked with cut down trees and full with garbage. It needs to be cleaned.
