Nice reserve contains a big amount of cedar tree but the trees are somehow young.. There are different paths that you can take depending on your physical level.. However don't forget to go to the cloud where you can see the valley is an amazing view.. This place is good for children and generally safe
Love it. A well preserved forest. One of my favorite touristic places in Lebanon. Great for a full day plan and hiking. Clean. Well prepared for tourists and hikers, you can follow the plan and choose your convenient track. Nice restaurants in the neighborhood. Good for groups, families and kids. Highly recommended.
It is the densest cedar forest in Lebanon. All levels of trails from easy to hard. Short to long to suit all people. Different experience in different seasons. Always nice and beautiful.
Absolutely love this place. It's a big forest where you can contact with cedar trees. You can choose from the several paths of different length. We took the longest. There is a difference between this forest and the cedars' trees reservoir in Kadisha valley: here you pay the entrance fee, the trees are younger and you can of them (only some old great Cedars of God are here), also you can find much more amazing points for making photos.
Reaching the reserve was a bit challenging: bad roads and lack of any kind of indications but Google maps was pretty accurate.
The reserve itself is pretty well kept. The person in charge took his time explaining the different routes and he suggested some spots to take pictures from. We were also handed a map that shows different, predefined routes inside the reserve each with signs showing the length of the track and designed to be of different difficulty levels.
The walk was nice, the place is decent but not much variation in the scenery. Good for a hike and as part of a longer plan around the area but probably not a good destination just on its own.
Beautiful but the cedars need care and the entire forest needs more care
Nice reserve contains a big amount of cedar tree but the trees are fairly young.. There are different paths that you can take depending on your physical level.. However don't forget to go to the cloud where you can see the valley is an amazing view.. This place is stored for children and centrally safe
Great view.. easy access
It's magical place. It is worth visiting in all seasons.
Amazing forest with multiple options to hike and they also have interesting activity programs such as group hiking , biking , snowshoeing , stargazing and bird watching. Visited in late december this year but can imagine it being beautiful in all seasons !
Exceptional view, beautiful forest. Great hiking trails with different levels of difficulty
To be definitely considered if family hiking is considered
Beautiful and peaceful Natural Reserve. Ideal for hiking or contemplating the majestuous Cedar forest, one of the biggest in the world.
One of the smallest yet well organized tracks.
Very cute place to visit. Lots of good photo spots.
Very nice forest treck for about 3 hours. Nice views especially the jagged peaks. Good family outing. Maps provided by guide at entrance booth.
A piece of heaven on earth. Greate tracks for hiking, not recommended for children under 6
You will feel transported A must visit
One of the best places to hike among the original Lebanese cedar trees. The forest is large and dense. The surrounding mountains are gorgeous and on the hike down you can see some large oak trees and old houses.
The most beautiful and pristine cedar forest! It has a dazzling variety of sceneries and flora. In spring it is a sight to behold
Good hiking with beautiful views. The trails are easy to follow with many pre-planned routes (from 1 km to 6 km).
Beautiful dense forest with clearly marked trails. Good for beginner and intermediate hikes. No guide needed.
Great for hiking in the wide Cedars forest
very nice experience, beautiful forest, friendly staff, and very interesting overall experience. Thumbs up.
A great place for hiking with a beautiful view over the north mountains
A lot of activities can be done in the area around the forest
Advise; choose a good sunny day in Spring or Fall and stay here from early morning till before sunset.
Great open door place
