About About the place

The Yehudia Forest Reserve, located on the Golan Heights, is a natural area characterized by its unique geological formations and flowing streams. The landscape features basalt rocks dating back 4.5 million to 60,000 years, creating stunning waterfalls and pools. While the original Yehudia Stream hike has been closed due to a rock slide, the Zevitan stream with its hexagonal pools remains a popular destination. The reserve offers a range of trails, from short and easy paths to more challenging hikes, catering to families and experienced hikers alike. Visitors can enjoy the cool waters, lush greenery, and diverse flora and fauna of the Golan Heights.
