Har Baron, Volcanic summit in Golan Heights, Israel

Har Baron is a volcanic summit in the Golan Heights standing above 1000 meters in elevation. The slopes display visible lava flows and rocky formations that hikers encounter along the trails.

The summit held military importance during the 1967 conflict between Israel and Syria. Bunkers and defensive structures from that period remain visible across the slopes.

Before 1967 the hill was known in Arabic as Tal al-Barm, rendered Bur'am on maps from the French mandate over Syria. The nearby natural area of Bab al-Hawa carries the name of a former Syrian village of the same name, abandoned after 1967. The village of El Rom lies north of the mountain, Merom Golan to the south.

Har Baron rises about 100 metres above the surrounding plateau, roughly 5 km from the Israeli control line and 12 km south of Majdal Shams. The summit is reached on foot; the western slopes above Nahal Orvim are the steepest approach. The nearby Bab al-Hawa area and the abandoned Syrian village of the same name lie by the southern flank.

Before 1967 the hill was known in Arabic as Tal al-Barm, and French mandate-era maps also record the form Bur'am. The summit rises only about 100 metres above the surrounding plateau, though it reaches 1,056 metres above sea level. The Nachal Orvim stream has its source near the western slopes.
