What to discover on the way:

At least one easy section to get by bus ! The starting point in Jezzine gives the opportunity to have a visit to this christian city  at the far end of the Shouf Mountains.
After one or two kilometers on the road, a small path leads you into the quiet mountain and the beauty of its landscapes. The track leads you to Ayyoub Mausoleum, holy site for the Druze community mostly based in the Shouf. You will finish your hike in Niha.
Unfortunately, the official trail does not lead you to Niha Fortress (Cave of Tyron) famous for having hosted emir Fakhreddine before hit capture by the Ottomans.
