 We’ll begin at Goren JNF Park, with sweeping views of the Kziv Stream valley and the dramatic ruins of the Montfort Crusader Castle.
 
Next, we’ll continue to the Snir Stream Nature Preserve, where you can enjoy a refreshing water hike. Restrooms and a sukkah are available on site, along with a snack bar to recharge.
 
Afterward, we’ll stop in the unique town of Ghajar, a village partly in Lebanon and partly in Israel, for a quick photo opportunity in this remarkable border town.
 
Finally, we’ll visit Metsudat Koach, where battles from the War of Independence shaped history, and where stunning views of the Hula Valley provide the perfect close to the day.
