What to discover on the way:

Nice section of the LMT (Lebanon Mountain Trail). However, the interactive map of the LMT website show a starting point in Hrajel while the path starts actually in Feraya. The beginging is not really clear and most of all, the path is not nice at all. Once on the hills of the village, the noise of the route is getting lighter and lighter. It's where you will get back to the official LMT path. From here, the track is really pleasant with stunning view on Arataba and Lassa Nahr Ibrahim Valley (Adonis Valley). If you go in spring or summer, you will probably have the opportunity to talk to shepherds and farmers up there.
At the end, don't miss the Afqa grotto ! (It is possible to get at the end of summer when the water stream is really little).
Also if you walk down the village, you can get to a natural pool :-)
