A beautiful easy trail that could be trekked with family members as little as 4 years! (OK 6 years).
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.
WARNING. The summer is not a good time to do this trail; the sun is scorching. Best times are late fall or early spring. Or you could start early at 5:30 and finish by 8:30!

Merci Zahi. Une très belle boucle même si la 1ère partie aurait besoin de bon nettoyage.

I have done this trail. We took a very long break to enjoy the place. The GPS was not too accurate at some points but the directions and signs were enough to lead us
Very nice hike. Well marked. Done end of March 2024. Thx Zahi
