REBOUND PLAYGROUNDS

Starting our hike at Amaz where we can fill our bottles from the purest spring water of Nabe3 El Hadid. Then, we start our trail to Lessa to reach Afqa’s grotto.

Reachingn Afqa we will stop at the grotto which is the source of the “Nahr Ibrahim” River. Across from the grotto are the remains of the Roman temple of Venus. Although the temple was destroyed by the Christian Emperor Constantine (285-337 AD), it was later rebuilt by Julian the Apostate (360-363). The Adonis-Astarte fertility rite continued in Lebanon into the 5th century AD.

This is a flat trail with minimum ascents and descents and suits all categories of hikers.
