Mount Hermon

Mount Hermon, also known as Har Hermon in Hebrew, is a mountain range in Lebanon that includes the southernmost part of the Lebanon Mountains. Its top stretches across the Syrian-Lebanese border, with the highest point in Syria at 2814 meters above sea level. Mount Hermon's southern slopes continue all the way to the Israeli Golan Heights, where the Mount Hermon ski resort sits at an elevation of 2236 meters. The Hermon range stretches about 70 kilometers and spans a total area of 700 square kilometers, of which Israel owns 70 square kilometers. Mount Hermon is a series of mountains with three peaks that are about the same height.

It is Israel's highest mountain and holds significant religious and cultural significance. The elevation of the mountain is 7336 feet. Because of its height, it may capture a lot of rain in this generally arid region. In December 1974, it was designated as a natural reserve. Because of the spectacular height of the mountains, vegetation begins to develop and blossom in August rather than in the spring. The heights are also home to a variety of animals and insects, including rare butterfly species and reptiles like snakes. Mount Hermon also boasts a beautiful waterfall where it meets the Golan Heights. It is one of the most popular hiking paths and continues to be a popular tourist destination. The Bania's waterfall is a popular tourist destination.
