  I would willingly call it the magical valley it is also known as the Kadisha or Holy Valley. It is part of the UNESCO World Cultural heritage list since 1998 ( Qadisha valley – case No. 34 17 E36.0 ref. 850 ). The valley offers tracks varying from ±200 to 950 meters of uneven roads reaching about 80° of   inclination.   Its   geological    formation

is Jurassic with a dominance of limestone. A magnificent biodiversity ( ± 18 different tree species ), spectacular scenery and the presence of several Christian monasteries dating between the 11th and the 15th century make of the Qannoubine ( or Kadisha ) valley a sheer wonder. See the pictures...
