Itinerary description

We did this trail in early december, i recommend doing it in october or November in order to see the Quercus cerris and peony seed pods at their best. Also recommended in spring to see the endemic Paeonia Kesrouanensis flower.
It is a one way trail, where we started our hike from the jabal moussa qehmez entrance and ended the trail at broqta side entrance.
The trail is well marked and easy to follow, you will also find panels explaining many tree types and some attractions on the way.
You can contact jabal moussa association in order to plan your hike, they can also help provide a ride back to the main entrance.
