Itinerary description

[English vers. at the end]

Super agradable paseo en la Reserva de Cedros de Tannourine con excelentes vistas al cañón de Aïn er Raha y el pico Aïn er Raha (1820 m.); aunque los cedros son más jóvenes que en otras zonas hay algunos abuelos espectaculares. La Reserva tiene otras rutas, pero esta es la más larga recorriendo todo el perímetro del parque. (Hay una opción de cruzar la reserva uniendo los puntos de inicio de la ruta y el waypoint “View point”, pregunta por todas las rutas posibles en el puesto de tickets, a nosotros nos dieron un mapa impreso de casa). La reserva está gestionada y muy bien cuidada por agentes forestales, mantenla limpia. La entrada para adultos cuesta 5.000 libras libanesas, niños gratis. Si vas con niños ojo en el mirador del waypoint “View point” pues hay un precipicio muy expuesto.

IMPORTANTE: He descubierto que el perfil de la ruta empieza con una cuesta arriba que para nada tiene que ver con la realidad, pues es una suave bajada. He llegado a la conclusión de que empecé a registrar la ruta antes de que el altímetro del GPS estuviera bien calibrado y a medida que se calibraba registró esta cuesta. Inicio y fin de la ruta están al mismo nivel. No sé si podré corregirlo.

Pleasant walk into the Arz Tannourine Cedar Reserve with excellent views to wadi Aïn er Raha and jebel Aïn er Raha (1820 m.); the cedars themselves are young ones, but there are spectacular 'old guys'. The Reserve has other tracks, but this is the longest one which covers the whole perimeter. (There is an option to join the beginning with the waypoint "View point", ask for all the tracks in the ticket office, they gave us a nice home printed map). The reserve is managed and very well maintained by rangers, keep it clean. Entrance fees per adult 5.000 lebanese pounds, children free. If you plan to go with children be careful on “View point” waypoint because it is an open risky cliff.

IMPORTANT: I noticed that the profile shows an uphill that does not match at all with the reality; the beginning is a very gentle way down and I guess it was the time taken by the GPS to calibrate the altitude. Start and finish point are at the same level.
