The Qadisha Valley is one of the deepest and most beautiful valleys in Lebanon.
At the bottom of this wild steep-sided gorge runs the Qadisha River and above the famous Cedar forest stands Qornet el Sawda, Lebanon’s highest peak 3080m).

Since the Early Middle Ages, generations of monks, hermits and ascetics found refuge there.
