Odem Forest Reserve, Protected forest and nature reserve in Golan Heights, Israel
The Odem Forest Reserve extends across 19,478 metric dunams, featuring dense forests, apple orchards, cherry trees, and multiple water pools throughout the landscape.
The archaeological site Bab El Hawa within the forest contains structures from the Iron Age that were destroyed by fire in the 9th century BCE.
A decorated tree in the reserve serves as a gathering point where visitors tie ribbons according to local traditions and beliefs.
The reserve includes designated camping areas for up to 200 people, equipped with mattresses, hot showers, kitchenettes, refrigerators, and barbecue facilities.
Twenty-three craters of different sizes dot the reserve's landscape, formed through volcanic activity in the Golan Heights region.
