Hiking in Bteghrine-Zaarour with Lebanese Adventure

Join Lebanese Adventure as it hosts a hiking trip to Bteghrine. The hike will begin between hills and valleys with a scenic view over the village of Baskinta and the majestic Sannine. In order to access the ruins of a former Castle known as “Kasr el Malak”, you will be crossing many streams (dried up at this time of the year), as well as impressive rocky formations.

There, you will continue up to the pigeon’s cliff while climbing to Zaarour station. You will follow farm roads to reach your destination, Bteghrine. The region is known for the richness of its endemic fauna (Partridge, wild pigeons, hawks, and foxes).

A few difficult passages are noted walking along the mountain to reach the castle where the trail is clear, but on a steep slope.
