Qiryat Shemona

If you've made it this far, you might as well continue a few last kilometers east into the disputed Golan Heights.

Alternatively, a visit to Metulla about ten kilometers to the north affords a view of the Good Fence and a number of somewhat yuppified guest houses and restaurants. And on the way to Metulla, a visit to the museum and the grave of Yosef Trumpeldor at Tel Hai/Kfar Giladi can remind you of the difficult past leading to the birth of the modern State of Israel. Trumpeldor was one of the pioneers of the region who gave his life in defense of the fledgling Tel Hai settlement along with seven others hence the name of Qiryat Shemona, the City of the Eight.
