A fantastic fortess in the Golan Heights, overlooking the Hula valley, with beautiful sights (weather permitting). Don't miss climbing up to the top tower. Enjoy

This ridge top walk is one of most spectacular hikes in the world for history buffs, birders, and anyone who enjoys dramatic scenery. It's an easy walk along a ridgetop to the fascinating ruins of the ancient Jewish village with spectacular views of the Kinneret/Sea of Galilee and good birding the whole way.

Few years ago, one could see and hear the unrest on the Syrian side from here. Israel has been taken in thousands of wounded Syrians and providing them with medical treatment which wouldn't be available to them anywhere else. Mt Bental - the battle itself was held during the Yom Kippur War in 1973. It was one of the largest tank battles ever and was miraculously won by the Israelis (160 tanks). The Syrians attacked with 1,500 tanks and 1,000 artillery pieces. The Israeli army suffered large casualties as well and by the time the battle was over, only 7 Israeli tanks were operational. After 900 of the Syrian tanks were destroyed, the Syrians turned and fled, leaving the land for the victorious Israelis. Today, to remember the bloody battle, the valley below the mountain is called the Valley of Tears. Certainly worth a visit!!!! Keep in mind, it gets cold and windy on the top of the Mt. Bental.

We went past and decided to visit. A memorial site for soldiers who had died, we presume whilst conquering the Golan Heights off Syria. Embattled tanks are scattered around and when looking over the border with Syria one can see the fields of mines (marked as dangerous). There was a group of soldiers sat in the amphitheater on site. Beautiful views and landscapes. There are no entry fees / opening hours. It is open 24/7
