Once you leave the Peace Vista, it's not too long before you find yourself on a steep switchback road, winding down along the ridge line. There are barbed wire fences with yellow signs warning of landmines all along the road, and the views go on for days...
Beautiful, magnificent... and dangerous.
The opposite ridge is Jordan!
A bunker from the Six Day War in 1967.
While on the drive through the Golan, you looked over and saw Syria. Then at some point, you passed the border and that from point, were looking at Jordan:
The border between Israel and Jordan is near this building. Below it are remains of the old Palestine railways.
You park the car, get out, and find an old Syrian bunker from the Six Day War. It supposedly goes several stories underground. Despite wanting to get out the heat, you remember that your Mama didn't raise a fool who wants tetnus... So you just take pictures of it instead:
Pretty incredible!
