Trip Planner: Middle East / Lebanon / North Governorate / Bcharre / The Cedars of God

The Cedars of God, Bcharre

4.5

#1 of 37 in Things to do in North Governorate

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.

If sometimes you get lost to Lebanon, I highly recommend a visit to the Kadisha Valley, as well as in that location. Libanoninsetripuut AWE and the place is startling and, in addition, really beautiful. The only minus the congestion. We hit the spot at the same time with the groups. You should therefore choose between the time of the visit.

Some may find the term of forest can be a little strong in view of the remaining area. However, the Cedars are truly majestic. There are many ancient Cedars in a context well preserved at the end of the Valley of Qadisha. The ride is very well marked and does not require a specific physical condition.
