Har Hozek, Volcanic summit in Golan Heights, Israel
Har Hozek is a volcanic peak in the northern Golan Heights with dark basalt rock and steep slopes all around. The bare surface shows old lava flows and rough stone formations typical of volcanic terrain.
The mountain formed millions of years ago through repeated volcanic eruptions that shaped the entire Golan Heights landscape. This intense geological activity ended long ago and left behind the hardened terrain visible today.
The summit area contains remnants of past military installations that reflect the complex territorial history between Israel and Syria in this region.
Hiking trails go up year-round, with spring and fall offering the most comfortable conditions. Good footwear matters because the rocky ground is uneven and can be slippery.
The rock body shows different dark layers that represent various phases of ancient lava flows. These visible bands tell the story of dozens of volcanic eruptions spanning millions of years.
