The popular Peace Vista

The Peace Vista has a lookout point and a several-kilometer concrete path providing wonderful views over Lake Kinneret and south of the lake. It is also stroller and wheelchair-friendly.

      Every English-speaking visitor and resident of Israel should own my two books! Bestseller! "In and Around Jerusalem for Everyone - The Best Walks, Hikes and Outdoor Pools"  and new! "The North of Israel for Everyone. The Best Family Activities, Hikes and Historic Sites" by Arnold Slyper — with essays, directions, maps, and much more.

  • Take the path from the parking lot to the lookout, passing by a roundabout. There is a helpful recording in Hebrew or English explaining the significance of this site and the view.

 

From the lookout can be seen the entire expanse of Lake Kinneret. Below you is Kibbutz Ein Gev. Across the lake you can make out the city of Tiberias. Mount Tabor is the highest mountain in the distance on your left. To your right can be seen Mount Meron and Mount Canaan in the Upper Galilee.

 

  • For the 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 the 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.
