The Cedars of God is a protected forest in the mountains above Bcharre, home to some of the oldest cedar trees in Lebanon. Visitors walk among ancient, massive cedars that have survived for millennia, with some trees estimated to be over 1,000 years old. The site offers a peaceful, almost sacred atmosphere, with well-marked paths and interpretive signs explaining the ecological and historical significance of the cedars. It's a must-see for nature lovers and those interested in Lebanon's natural heritage.
