Itinerary description

This beautiful hike starts from Qamhaz, till afqa waterfall forth and back. I was waiting the snow to melt to perform this hike, the landscapes all the way are magnificent even going back by the same road was even more satisfying.
nearly all trail follows mostly dirt roads, asphalte roads and very little part on the way back needed signs and more maintenance, to avoid it just follow back the same road.
Many artificial lakes on the way back.
Highly recommended for mountain and nature lovers.
Hike poles, mountain shoes and long pants during this time are mandatory, as grass surrounding is high during spring.

Do your duty to keep nature a beauty and always be kind to everything that lives :)
