THE WALK
-
Take the path from the parking lot to the lookout that passes by a roundabout. There is a helpful recording in Hebrew or English explaining the significance of this site and the view.
From the lookout you can see the whole expanse of Lake Kinneret. Below you is Kibbutz Ein Gev. Across the lake you can make out the city of Tiberias. In the distance, Mount Tabor is the highest mountain on your left. To your right can be seen Mount Meron and Mount Canaan in the Upper Galilee.
-
For a longer walk, go around the gift shop on a gravel path and you will soon come to the concrete path. For strollers and wheelchairs, there is an entrance to this path closer to the parking lot.
-
Continue along the path until you come to Mevo Hama.
-
From here, retrace your steps back to the parking lot.
