Itinerary description

A custom trail i composed hiked solo in Ghine, starting from the entrance of the village from Kfour, the first KM is on asphalt road leading to the start of the Mahbube trail that takes you down a valley, you will end up at a abandoned house. From there, a uptrail begins leading to a small part of Chahtoul, then you will continue on asphalt road visiting some great touristic parts of Ghine, like Ain Aabal water resource (you can refill your water there), roman ruins and Adonis grotto. After that, the trail goes through the mushroom forset called the IGhine trail leading you to the ICN radio station that has a vast terrain that is commonly visited by people outside the village, there you can enjoy a beautiful sunset if planned, after that, the trail ends at the start closing the loop.

Recommended trail for everyone who is looking to discover Ghine and suitable for any level.

Keep nature safe!
