Horsh Ehden
The bush of Ehden contains a particularly varied and beautiful remnant forest of the Cedars of Lebanon. Located on the northwestern hills of Mount Lebanon and spoiled by mist and relatively high precipitation, a multitude of rare and endemic plants grow. Fifty-seven plant species in it are found only in Lebanon; thirty of them have Lebanon as part of their names. Other plants were only recently found to include Lebanon in their range. Six new plant species and one butterfly unknown to science were recently found here.
On a peaceful walk through the mixed forest of juniper, and the country’s last protected community of wild apple trees, you might cross on a spot an endangered Imperial eagle or Bonelli eagle, a wolf or a wildcat. Horsh Ehden also protects many animals rarely seen elsewhere in the country: Hedgehog, Squirrel, Porcupine, Jackal, Weasel, Badger, Wild Cat, Hyrax, Cape Hare, and others.
