Itinerary description

This is one of the trails that I LOVE. I think Jaj Cedar forest is the only one in Lebanon where the trees (very old trees) planted roots in rocks. Lots of boulders to climb up and down. It is a very challenging trail if you follow it. We passed by the famous sink hole and many others. The view from the top makes this trail worth it.
This trail is added to our annual MUST do trails.
Loop trail from El Ansîl passing through:
- God's Church (7.1 km)
