DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT:

========================   

Dear Corazon,   

Prepare yourself for an amazing evening at Oyoun Orghosh village Bekaa-district.

We will spend the evening there, enjoy a clear sky full of stars and end the night by a cozy gathering around the lake to have dinner of Mezza & Trout fish (a la carte).

Oyoun-Orghosh, it’s the site of an ancient sacred lake, and rich in water, marvelous lake and the great weather at this time of year.

Oyoun Orghosh is a name in plural form given to a high mountain region with an abundance of springs of water.

This sweet getaway is perfect for stargazing and hiking in summer or a daytime picnic. The area is home to many ponds with clear limpid waters and water springs, surrounded by rough mountain hills.

The ponds accumulate the water of the springs emerging from the foot of the steep hill, which are fed by snowmelt percolating from the summits of Jabal al-Mekmel and Qornet es-Sawda.

This place it is neither village nor even hamlet, just a few little houses and restaurants and a place to visit where one can relax, breathe fresh air, find welcome repose and admire the splendors of Nature.

The fresh water at this elevation and location constitutes a special ecosystem for animals (fish, reptiles, birds), and plants (junipers, abies, cupressus and cedars).

HIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy, 4 to 6 for intermediate, 7 to 9 for strenuous

LEVEL 3 (approx. 1,30Hr); Easy walk, we will start from the end of Oyoun Orghosh, walking along the cliff overlooking the entire plain of Oyoun Orghosh. Will see a beautifully veritable oasis.
