Driving south along the Golan, past the entrance to Gamla National Park and you'll find the Kfar Haruv Kibbutz and one of the most spectacular views of the Sea of Galilee that I've never seen: The Peace Vista.
It was windy that day we were up here, but I was so glad for that because it was late June and a documented 103 degrees Fahrenheit. The view did not disappoint!
It was so vast (and we were so close) that I couldn't fit the whole lake in the photo. WOW!
Built on the stones of a 1,700 Talmudic village, the view point offers and incredible view to not only appreciate the beauty of the area but also to understand its history. From above, you can see much of the Golan. And if you're with a tour guide like I was, from there, you get to get about the history of the area, most recently in the Six Day War of 1967, with him pointing to and fro.
And, there was a bonus. It's hard to tell unless you zoom in, but beyond the taller trees on the mid-right of the photo is a ridge and some more ruins:
Susita (Hippos)! You can almost see
Kursi National Park as well. So cool!
Shalom for Israel, Shalom for Jerusalem, Shalom for all.
