Itinerary description

A very nice hike from Hbaline to the famous abandoned village of Bjerrine via Hsarat village. It can be done in less than 3 hours which makes it perfect for a morning or an afternoon hike in the coming spring and summer. The trail is exposed and there's almost no shade. Not recommended on a hot summer day. We started from Hbaline and went down to the valley before starting our ascent to Hasrat. After a pleasant walk in the village, we took a footpath becoming soon a wonderful "ligne des crêtes" walk leading to St Elias shrine where you can see the stunning hill of Bjerrine ruins. The way down follows a zizgaz trail and you will reach an old rusted sign. Continue your way up to Bjerrine, the old village and take your time exploring the stunning ruins. From there, we went down to the green fields before going up back to Hbaline from its west. Go to the viewpoint where you will have another superb view of Bjerrine. I highly recommend this hike for all nature lovers. Enjoy and #HikeWhileYouCan !
