-Postponed- Cyclamen in Mtein! Our hike will commence at the village of Mtein (1,090 m) along the LMT. We will pass through the historic Mtein square which features heritage houses with traditional Lebanese architecture. The palaces surrounding the square date back to the 17th century. The buildings are ornate and entrances are adorned with carvings.

We will hike to  the ancient silk plant to join a footpath leading to the village of Mchikha.
A highlight of this hike is to cross over an ancient bridge which leads into a lush pine forest. The remains of a Roman road leading to the Bekaa valley are still visible here.

This hike is moderate but expect some rocky pathways which will make the hike all the more exciting.

Along the way, we will take a break for a picnic lunch in a shady spot (lunch & beverages are not included in the price, so please bring your own picnic or pick up sandwiches in the village to support the local  community).
