What to discover on the way:
Long and hard, this hike will reward you for your effort! The Chouwen Lake is beautiful, although occasionally a bit too crowded with visitors (come early morning). Once there, you will have to hike up for quite a long time in order to get stunning views on Nahr Ibrahim Valley (specially when you cross Querqraiya village and the arrival to Lessa).
The start of the path is easy to follow but once in the Jabal Moussa Reserve, it gets harder to follow as it is made up of path used mainly by shepherd. At Querqraiya, you have two possibilities:
- Follow an old shepherd's track (not used a lot), full of weeds and thorns but perfect for the adventurers!
- Follow the Janne dam (currently in construction) using the road used by the construction vehicles. This road is easy and much faster than the shepherd's track, although less interesting. You do however, go through the nice village of Lessa.(follow the end of the GPS track of Lessa Loop - Janne Dam).
Really shady, this hike is perfect for a warm day !
On your hike, visit the Les Racines du Ciel farm that produce great organic products and within a beautiful setting.
