Forest Historic Site Must See

• ©

Admire the rare and majestic Lebanese cedar trees at The Cedars of God. This ancient forest once overflowed with this species of cedar, and its timber was favored by Egyptians, Romans, and Persians, to name a few. Sadly, exploitation has led to mass deforestation and this forest is now rigorously protected as a World Heritage Site. Walk among the imposing trees to admire their beauty, and keep your eyes peeled for some with trunks spanning more than 10 m (32 ft) across. Sitting at an altitude of 2,000 m (6,600 ft) above sea level, the peaceful forest provides a ruggedly beautiful landscape to explore.

  Parco nazionale è unico del suo genere . un'oasi di pace , attraversarlo ci si estranea al mondo. Ormai di boschi di cedri sono rimasti pochi in Libano e questo è uno di quelli.  more »

  National Park is unique of its kind. an oase of peace, crossing it will alienate us from the world. There are now few cedar forests left in Lebanon and this is one of them.
