Syriac language, meaning “bread stoves.” Other researchers Assia's good quality soil has also helped to distinguish its believe that the word Tannourine originally referred to pottery handicrafts trade. “enlightened.” The village of Tannourine lies in a splendidly beautiful area near the mountain of Tannourine. The village also shares its name with a cedar forest of some 60,000 trees distributed on an approximately 600 hectare piece of land. This forest, which lies at an altitude ranging from 1,200 and 1,850 meters, was been classified as a nature reserve in February 1999. The Tannourine cedars can be seen along the road that goes north to Hadath Al-Jibbeh, in the direction of Bcharre, the Qadisha Valley, and the Cedars of Arz Ar-Rab. The Tannourine area is known for its large sinkhole known as Bala’a. A 300-meter walk brings you to this dizzying open cavern some 255 meters deep. Three natural bridges – the middle one is the most spectacular – complete the scene. If you visit the area in springtime, you can see an impressive waterfall some 90 meters high. A river disappears into the cave, never to be seen again, hence its name Bala’a or “drain.” Besides the sinkhole, the surrounding hills invite exploration. This is a pleasant place for a picnic as well. In and around Tannourine village are numerous scattered remnants from pre-Roman, Roman, and Byzantine times. The Crusader Church of Mar Challita is further evidence of the village’s long history, and even today the saint is honored in an annual feast on August 20. 80

The cave is a huge natural fissure, and the central passage opens into rooms along both sides. Above the cave is a large rocky basin to accumulate rain water, and at the bottom of the basin is a hole with a long tube that connects to the inside of the cave. The importance of this cave lies in its strategic location, as it overlooks the remaining part of the old caravan road that once linked the Tripoli coast to Mount Lebanon, Beqa’a, and Damascus. 104

However, some researchers also 1 2 argue that its name is derived from the Semitic language and indicates three meanings: “doubt and scabby,” “cold and 3Towards freeze,” or “maintenance and protection.” Other researchers Sera'al have translated the town’s name as meaning “reserve,” which πYô°S ƒëf may be related to religious rituals and blessings. Asnoun 3 is known for its olive and almond fields as well as for the cultivation of tobacco and vegetables.
