From
Chtaura
drive
in
the
direction
of
Masnaa
(border
post),
turning
right
toward
Rashaya
just
before
the
post.
In
Rashaya
ask
for
the
road
to
Kfar
Quk.
The
best
way
to
see
the
array
of
Roman
ruins
here
is
to
park
near
the
pool
at
the
entrance
of
the
village
and
walk
to
the
western
quarter
In the western quarter a small rectangular temple sits on the road side. Within its walls can be found basins, grape presses, a sarcophagus, columns and other relics. A second, less well-preserved temple near the church has many stone basins.
Outside the village is an old flour mill once powered by a water wheel. Although it sits on a now dry gully and is in a ruined state, the mill's size is a testimony to its former importance. In the area around the village numerous caves, tomb niches, columns and other objects await exploration.
