Yehudiya Forest Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Golan Heights, Israel
Yehudiya Forest Nature Reserve covers a landscape with waterfalls, streams, and dense woodland spread across varied terrain. The reserve includes deep canyons, rocky viewpoints, and forested valleys that create different habitats throughout the area.
The reserve takes its name from an ancient village called Yehudiya, whose archaeological remains can still be found scattered throughout the area. This historical connection shaped the identity of the reserve since its establishment.
Mount Tabor oak trees shape the landscape here, creating a savanna-like setting where visitors can observe diverse animals in their natural habitat.
The reserve has several marked trails at different difficulty levels, with visitor centers offering maps and guidance for navigation. The best time to visit is during cooler months when paths are easier to manage and water flows more fully through streams and waterfalls.
The Hexagon Pool features distinctive basalt columns formed by volcanic activity that create geometric patterns in the rock. This unusual geological formation draws visitors who want to see nature's geometric shapes in person.
