Lebanon.Cedars

 Not much is left of the Cedars forest of Biblical times, but the 350 trees that do remain are certainly impressive. “Known as Cedars of the Lord”, most of them grow near Besharreh, at an altitude of over 1600m. Their average height is 35km, and the circumference of some of them reaches 17-18m. Solomon imported Cedars from Lebanon to build his temple of Jerusalem. Today, the Cedar is the National emblem. The road to the Cedars passes through the magnificent Kadisha Valley.
