THE BALAA CHASM
Go there and contact
6 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.
Le Lebanon trail passe par ce lieu incontournable des amateurs d'escalade : le gouffre de Baala - ou Baatara. Celui-ci n'apparait que lorsque que l'on descend. Au printemps à la fonte des neiges, la cascade est impressionnante. Quelques boutiques et snacks à l'entrée, et un restaurant avec vue sur le gouffre. Si vous pouvez éviter la visite le dimanche, le lieu est très prisé par les Libanais...
