The Hermon site was opened to visitors - and was filled during Shabbat (Editing: Aviad Ballali)
These days, the Hermon site is the most sought-after site in the country, especially in the north.
We do not have many snow days, and many want to take advantage of the pleasant days after the rains (it is important to note that today you must book a place in advance through the Hermon site and not arrive without a ticket, because they will take you back home).
So you decided to go to the White Mountain?
Beauty.
The question is what else can be done in the area?
We asked Eran Peer, the founder of the "Israel Hiking and Camping Community" on Facebook, to recommend us some places for hiking and food in the northern Golan Heights.
