Mount Avital, Dormant volcano in Golan Heights, Israel.

Mount Avital stands at 1204 meters above sea level, featuring basalt rock formations and steep slopes leading to its volcanic summit.

The mountain served as a strategic military position during the Yom Kippur War of 1973, when Israeli forces defended against Syrian attacks.

Local farmers utilize the mineral-rich volcanic soil surrounding Mount Avital to cultivate vineyards and agricultural products.

Visitors can reach the summit via a paved road that leads to a parking area, with several marked trails available for exploration.

The mountain's crater contains active vineyards, producing grapes in soil formed by volcanic activity that ended 100,000 years ago.
