Mt. Hermon (הר חרמון)

"Mount Arbel " and "Nahal Amud" in Galile and " Yehudiya waterfall " in golan hights , from my tour in 2.5.2014 *Mount Arbel (Hebrew: הר ארבל‎, Har Arbel) is a mountain in The Lower Galilee near Tiberias in Israel, with high cliffs, views of Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights, trails to a cave-fortress, and ruins of an ancient synagogue. Mt. Arbel sits across from Mount Nitai; their cliffs were created as a result of the Jordan Rift Valley and the geological faults that produced the valleys. Nearby are the ruins of an ancient Jewish settlement with a Synagogue from the fourth century C.E. with extend pews and columns, and dug into the mountain itself are a number of cliff dwellings There are documented Jewish cliff dwellings dating back to the Second temple period, in the area, few standing stones left from synagogues from that period. Josephus writes about the Roman conquest of some of the last Hasmonean rebels who dwelt in the cliffs of Mt Arbel *Nahal Yehudiya Hikes -- waterfalls and pools in the Yehudiya Forest Nature Reserve in golan hights. *The Nahal Amud (Hebrew: נחל עמוד‎), also known as the Wadi Amud, is a stream in the Upper Galilee that spills into the Sea of Galilee. The stream's source, Ramat Dalton, is located 800 meters above sea level. Its drainage basin includes the peaks of Mount Canaan (955 meters) and Mount Meron (1,204 meters) and flows south through eastern Galilee to the northwest part of the Sea of Galilee - a height of less than 200 meters below sea level. The stream is named after a pillar that rises high above ground and is located near a channel of the stream near Kibbutz Hokuk.
