Then we will go to the top of a hill to see a panoramic view to the most picturesque spot where the very known water ponds exist. The stunning mountainous landscape\, with extremely vertical slopes\, is impressive. The scenery is just great. We continue our hike between the pine forest of Falougha passing by Sohat spring water bottling plant. \n  \nAfter finishing the trail\, we will go by bus to Hammana village\, its described by the poet Lamartine as being “the work of God”.
