North Israel - Yehudiya forest nature reserve בריכת משושים

The Yehudiya Forest Nature Reserve in the central Golan Heights, is shaped like a hand, the “wrist” of which is in the Bethsaida Valley and each of whose “fingers” is a flowing stream. The land slopes moderately westward from 400 to 100 m above sea level.The Yehudiya Forest itself covers some 30% dunams of the reserve. Its most common tree is the large Mt. Tabor oak, which sheds its leaves in winter. These trees grow at some distance from each other, interspersed with herbaceous species, Christ-thorn and terebinth trees, creating a forest-park landscape. Among the animals in the reserve are gazelles, wild boars, jackals, conies, Indian-crested porcupines and the Cairo spiny mouse. The skies reveal raptors such as kestrels, short-toed eagles, Bonelli’s eagles, Egyptian vultures, buzzards, Griffon vultures and a large variety of song birds. Climb the stairs to the roof of the Muhraqa Monastery for the most beautiful panoramic view. A 360° view of the Jezreel Valley, the mountains of western Galilee, the northern slopes of the Samaria Ridge, and the Haifa Bay with the Mediterranean Sea. And maybe it will snow, like when I visited.
