Giv'at Bezek

Giv'at Bezek is a mountain summit in the Golan Heights standing at about 490 meters above sea level. This peak forms part of a volcanic chain that defines the landscape of the northern region with its distinctive basalt formations.

The mountain formed through volcanic activity millions of years ago and documents a dramatic geological history of the region. The basalt formations reveal evidence of extinct volcanoes that once shaped this landscape.

Local Druze communities maintain traditional agricultural practices around the mountain slopes, cultivating crops adapted to the mineral-rich volcanic soil.

Hikers can reach the summit through marked trails that connect from the main road network in the area. Parking is available at the trailhead entry points.

From this height, visitors overlook a plateau shaped by extinct volcanoes with geological details that reveal the region's volcanic past. The basalt blocks and rock formations tell a compelling story of natural forces when examined closely.
