Jebel Adathir

Jebel Adathir is a mountain ridge in northern Israel that rises to approximately 1000 meters and sits within the Levantine mountain ranges near the Lebanese border. The slope is part of the Har Meron Nature Reserve and features several hiking routes that connect different elevations across the terrain.

The mountain sits along a border region that has shaped settlement patterns and territorial relationships in the Levantine area for centuries. The slope served as a natural reference point for travelers along ancient migration routes.

The name Jebel Adathir means 'the mighty mountain' in Arabic and reflects how the local community relates to this natural landmark. Shepherds and walkers regularly use the slopes and pathways, making it part of the region's living landscape.

The mountain is accessible through several marked hiking trails that offer varying difficulty levels and different starting points. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear and water supplies, as the elevation and exposed terrain can be demanding.

The summit offers unobstructed views across neighboring landscapes and reveals the geological layers that document the formation of this mountain range. On clear days, hikers can see formations that tell the story of long-term erosion and the tectonic history of the area.
