My friend from Sweden was visiting for a few days and because I know how much he enjoys walking in nature, we drove all the way to Akkar, in the North governorate of Lebanon, for a chill and peaceful afternoon. We were both amazed at the Azr Forest in the Fenaidiq area. We only spent a few hours there, walking, climbing, discovering, observing, and taking pictures. The weather was perfect: a crisp 9 degrees Celsius, a clouded sky, and some high fog that cleared by the end of the afternoon when the sunbeam finally pierced through and the temperature rose significantly. At 1450 meters from sea level, we also spotted snow in a corner that probably isn't exposed to direct sunlight for long. A clear pathway is marked so that you can relish the moment, inhale the pure air, and let nature perform its magic and mesmerize you. A very recommended hike, or tour next time you want to spend time outside four walls and take pleasure in listening to the birds chirping in the tree foliage. Even to the untrained eye, older, younger, and dead trees as well as clearings are visible. And this is a sign of a healthy forest. How do we maintain this state of affairs?
