רכס בשנית, Volcanic ridge in Golan Heights, Israel
The Bashanit Ridge extends for 7 kilometers with 11 volcanic cones, reaching elevations between 900 and 1,100 meters above sea level.
The ridge formed through five phases of volcanic activity approximately 100,000 years ago, creating lava flows and pyroclastic deposits in the region.
The eastern slopes of Bashanit Ridge mark the border between Israel and Syria, with a ceasefire line running through the territory.
The ridge contains multiple hiking trails across its volcanic terrain, requiring proper hiking equipment and advance weather condition checks.
The ridge features two distinct geological layers: a flat lava cone base and smaller ash cones on its slopes.
