Tanur Waterfall

Tanur Waterfall has one of the most picturesque pathways in Galilee thanks to the Iyon Stream's strong winter flow, which forges four waterfalls.

The Tanur waterfall, which cascades from a 30-m high rock chimney, is the most well-known. Autumn brings sternbergia and lilies into bloom, and spring brings a profusion of vibrant wildflowers. The lengthier of the two paths in the reserve, which are both signposted, starts at the upper parking lot and travels downstream, taking about 90 minutes each way. The Tanur waterfall is on the 30-minute shorter circle path, which also features an overlook.

The best times to visit Tanur are on a pleasant winter day and in the spring when there are many blooms; if you go at any other time, be sure the waterfall has water before you go. The third waterfall in the Aiun river is the Tanur. It is advised to start in Metula and descend all the way to the Tanur and second waterfalls.
