Lebanon Mountain Trail Khalwat el Kfeir to Hasbaya

Trail description

This is the western half of section 25 of the Lebanon Mountain Trail, from the slopes of Mount Hermon above Khalwat el Kfeir down to Hasbaya. The path crosses the Hermon foothills through oak woodland and past distinctive rock formations and the village of Ain Tanta, then descends to Hasbaya and its Chehab citadel. It is about 9 km on a mapped footpath, most of it downhill. The full stage from Rachaya is 22.7 km and rated very difficult, and springs are few, so carry water.
