Ehmej to Laqlouq: a colorful autumn trail hike with LOA

Ehmej to Laqlouq: a colorful autumn trail ๐Ÿ‚

Join us on Sunday 1 November for a colorful day on the trail, from the Ehmej forest to Laqlouq village.

Ehmej means โ€œthe hidden placeโ€, and it lives up to its name: unspoiled forests, jagged peaks, wild orchards and junipers. Along the way, weโ€™ll enjoy panoramic views of botanical beauties, the Ezer Forest and rolling green hills, with the scent of wild herbs and thyme in the air. The trail is charmingly diverse, with a new landscape around every turn. If you want a Sunday full of color and a little challenge, this one is for you.
