Saar Falls

The Saar Falls in the Golan Heights are both breathtakingly beautiful and conveniently located. The waterfalls, which are four kilometers from the Nimrod Fortress and are located immediately off Road 99, are best viewed in the winter or spring when Mount Hermon's water and snow are still making their way to the Sea of Galilee. Make sure to arrange your trip appropriately because the falls are reduced to a tiny puddle in the summer and fall.

The Sa'ar River flows through the Sa'ar Valley, fed by the rain and snow runoff from the mountains in the Upper Golan. The icy water thunders down the stony cascades of Sa'ar Falls. From the observation walk only a short distance from the parking, a trio of waterfalls can be observed, the middle one being the highest and most magnificent. Between the first and second falls, there is a gap of rushing water that is crossed by a wooden bridge. If you're searching for a quiet spot to have a picnic, head to either the banks before the falls or the grassy cliff edge that overlooks the falls after the falls. Both are peaceful and picturesque.
