The volcanic Golan Heights offer lush green views and waterfalls, along with striking geopolitical importance: the region borders Syria, and serves as an army training area for the Israeli Defense Forces. Despite its proximity to the neighboring civil war, the atmosphere couldn’t be further removed. Known as wine country and brimming with orchards, the Golan’s deep canyons and verdant fields are populated with a harmonious mix of Israeli and Druze communities. With a hint of time and patience, those that venture off the beaten track here will be rewarded with the discovery of a new frontier.
