(Summer
Resort 45 km)
Located
at the foot of Mount Sannine, this traditional summer resort
boasts a magnificent view of surrounding mountains. Baskinta
is also known for the variety of its fruit and numerous
vineyards. This is the native village of Mikhail Naimeh
(1889-1988), one of Lebanon;s greatest thinkers and men of
letters, as well as companion to Gibran Khalil Gibran. It was
here in a hut |
|
|
surrounded by extraordinary rock formations that Naimeh
drafted much of his monumental work.
From Baskinta it is possible to climb to
the 2,628 meter summit of mount Sannine, starting
off at Nabaa Sannine, a village 7 km up the mountain. Count on
three hours for the climb and be sure to carry drinking water.
A local guide will help you locate the beat routes. The
descent is made easy for those who choose to slide down on the
pebbly scree.
