Shalom! Today we hiked through the Golan Heights and spent time swimming at the Breichat HaMeshushim (the Hexagons Pool). It was an incredible place to hike and I look forward to spending more time hiking in the northern parts of the Golan!

Breichat HaMeshushim: “A natural pool in the central-southern Golan Heights region. The pool, located in the channel of the longHaMeshushim (Hexagons) stream, is a spectacular geological phenomenon which is revealed here in all of its magnificence. This natural pool is walled in with hexagonal basalt pillar shaped formations, and hence its name. The water which comes into the Hexagons Pool in a charming waterfall has abraded the pool’s eastern wall, cut the Hexagonal pillar at their base and left them hanging as a roof above the edges of the pool. The floods have smoothened and polished the slide coming down into the pool and made it look as if it is paved. The water in the pool is cool and clear and provides a refreshing dip.” (Source: http://www.israeltraveler.org/en/site/hexagonal-pool |
