Trees press close on the approach to Qechresh forest, where sunlight spots the path and birds keep time. The day unfolds as a sequence of short walks and lookouts — Quba’s distinct painted houses, the low stone synagogues of Red Town across the Kudyal, a forested lunch spot, then the splash and spray of Mestdergah Waterfall and the quiet bowl of Chenlibel Lake.
