Itinerary description
LMT Section 2 Tashea - Qemmamine
Starts outside of Tashea and follows unpaved agricultural roads to climb a cliff on a trail to the Qammoua (القموعة ) plateau and through the Qammoua forest, much of which is a protected nature reserve. Forests of juniper, cedar, and fir, rivers and deep valleys are the main highlights. There is also a wild iron oak forest near Fnaideq, and an extensive pine forest between Mishmish and Qemmamine. You will have views of some of Lebanon’s highest peaks -- Jabal Arouba (جبل عروبة ) to the east and to the south Jabal el Mekmel (جبل المكمل ), and Qornet es Saouda (القرنة السوداء ). With an altitude of 3088 m, Qornet es Saouda is Lebanon’s highest peak. Towards the end of the trail there are three sections of water to cross which was done walking rock to rock. There were two springs with fresh cold drinkable water.
