Boukaat Loubnan Trail: North-Beqaa Trail - Marjhine To Brissa

This section starts from above the Marjhine plain in Jroud El Hermel from Ras Akabet Al Sharbine, where swathes of waving green offer a haven for shepherds and their flocks. The trail follows an ancient route known as the high peak route that used to connect Akkar mountains to those of the Beqaa. The trail reaches the Shrine of Ali el Tawil,  a venerable holy man for the Muslim Shiaa. From Ali el Tawil, the trail starts descending towards the village of Brissa through scenic juniper trees. Once in Brissa, do not miss visiting ancient ruins dating from the Byzantine era. Brissa is also known to hold the world's biggest Neo Babylonean inscription from the era of the king Nabuchednesszar II (605BC–562 BC). At the time of king Nabuchednesszar II, the cedar forests of northern Lebanon were widely exploited and used in the palaces and temples of Babylon. The inscriptions in the village of Brissa tell this story. The trail ends at the inscriptions. From that point, follow the main road through the valley ending at the ancient ruins inside the village.
