The trail then passes over an aqueduct belonging to an old water mill before arriving to the bridge of Sheikh Houssein. Below the village of Amatour the trail points south towards the village of Haret Jandal and crosses the Salman river before reaching the bottom of the Barouk valley. It then runs along the Barouk river, crosses over a small stone bridge at the Ain el Zaïtoun stream, and ends in Marj Bisri, as well as the trail can start in Barouk or Maasser el Shouf.
