Pictures from the Golan Heights
This is the original entrance to Dan. It was only a few years ago this
was uncovered. The shelter was built to protected it from the rains.
It is built from mud bricks. An interesting fact is that the Romans are
credited with building the first arches but this gateway predates the
Romans by about 1500 years.
Since the new settlements started in the Golan heights there have numerous vineyards and wineries established producing some very
fine wines. There are plenty of tours and wine tasting available.
The cellar from the winery above. The largest in the region.
Lebanon looks down on the Golan Heights
off to the side of the road. The little yellow signs on the fence warn that
it is still a minefield. The mines are believed to be safe as they should be
rusting away. The explosive is organic so should be broken down by now.
I still would not go out there but the area is used for cattle grazing.
This sign did not stop us. Go past the sign and turn left to get to the to get
to the lookout post. On top of the hill is the Lebanon military outpost,
constantly looking down into Israel. Lots of construction noise at night.
They are doing something up there.
