Horns of Hattin, Extinct volcano in Lower Galilee, Israel

The Horns of Hattin consists of two distinct peaks rising 326 meters above sea level, providing views of Lake Kinneret and Mount Arbel.

The Battle of Hattin in 1187 marked a decisive victory for Saladin over Crusader forces, leading to significant changes in control of the Holy Land.

The northern slopes contain ruins of the Talmudic village Hittya, while the southern peak connects to the biblical Canaanite town of Adamah.

The hiking trail extends 9 kilometers with an elevation gain of 250 meters, accessible through a dirt road from route 77 near Tiberias.

A Druze shrine complex at the northern foothills marks the believed burial location of Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses.
