| The winter and
spring months are ideal for filming the stunning waterfalls
Israel has to offer. Mostly located in the Northern Golan
Heights, Israel boasts several waterfalls ideal for particularly
picturesque shots. One of the most well known waterfalls
in Israel is the Banias waterfall, just 10 meters high and
extremely beautiful. Near the waterfall is the Banias cave,
a pilgrimage site for Christians. According to Christian
tradition St. Peter confessed the divinity of Jesus to the
people in the cave (Matthew 16: 13-20).
In the Nahal Ayoun Nature Reserve there are four waterfalls
including the Oven Fall, a 30 meter waterfall, and the Mill
Fall, a 21 meter waterfall. These waterfalls only function
in the winter and the spring because they are diverted for
agriculture in the summer months. Additionally there is
the Sa’ar Waterfall (which literally means stormy)
and the Gamla waterfall, which at 51 meters, is the highest
waterfall in Israel. If you are looking for a waterfall
closer to the center of the country, in the Ein Gedi National
Park you can find the Nahal David waterfall.
