THE BALAA CHASM
Read more6 km north of the ski slopes of Laqlouq, take the left to Tannourine. After 3 km, a turn on the left is particularly tight. You can continue on foot (5-10 minutes). There is an impressive chasm of 240 m called also Houet Baakara (or the chasm of the three bridges). Just go down several hundred meters to discover this geological curiosity. During the melting of snow, a waterfall burst over 90 metres. To believe the people in the corner, the Ottoman soldiers were reportedly thrown into the early th century. When the chasm draws down, the show is striking. However, the site is not at all secure. Further, there are two other chasms, including that of Jouret Abed. It is also possible to visit these sites with hiking associations. The region is known to be a picnic area and a family destination in summer.
THE TANNOURINE NATURE RESERVE
Read moreBeyond the village of Tannourine al-Faqwa, you can reach the magnificent cédraie, classified since 1999, nature reserve. Surrounded by mountains, this forest of several hectares ranges from 1 250 to 1 870 metres. Over 400 000 trees were recorded there. Hikers can easily access the trails along the trails while respecting nature. It is forbidden to make a fire, to picnic and to hunt. The wildlife is rich. Some observers found hyenas, foxes, wild boar and a wolf. They are so rare that these animals are not a danger to pedestrians. Four hiking trails, more or less long, are proposed.
