Sights The Golan Archeological Museum (tel. 96 13 50) is in the north end of town, at the opposite end of Daliyat St. from the field school. Despite its tiny size, the museum is one of the most informative of its kind in the country, with thorough explanations in Hebrew and English accompanying most exhibits. The Golan excavations, consisting largely of engraved artifacts of ancient synagogues and houses, testify to agricultural communities dating back to the New Stone Age. The museum also has an archeological exhibit and short film explaining the battle between the Jewish town of Gamla and the Romans during the Great Revolt of 67-70 AD. (Open Sun.-Thurs. 8am-4pm, Fri. 8am-lpm, Sat.

10am-4pm. Admission NIS8, students NIS5.) The ticket also includes admission to Ancient Katzrin Park, located just outside modern Katzrin (ask the museum for directions). Excavations have unearthed a richly ornamented synagogue dating from the 4th-8thcentury AD. when Katzrin was a flourishing Jewish settlement. Two reconstructed houses with furnishings based on finds from the excavations give a sense of daily iife in the Talmudic Village.

A few kilometers north of Katzrin, the road ends in a T heading west to the B’not Ya’akov Bridge or east toward Quneitra. To reach the Gilabon (jee-la-boon) and Dvora waterfalls in the Gilabon Nature Reserve, head lkm east and turn left just before the military base. The approach to the reserve begins about 2km down this road. The reserve contains a well-marked, circular path leading to both waterfalls. Hiking the entire challenging trail takes four to five hours; for a shorter route, hike down to the Gilabon and back without completing the full circle (2-3 hrs.).
