 ADDITIONAL SITES AND ACTIVITIES 

 

1. The Nimrod Fortress, also known as the"Nimrod" and the Arabic "Kalat a-Tsubaeva", is an impressive medieval fortress, built on a narrow spur on the slopes of Mount Hermon and ruled the important road of Banis - Damascus.

The Nimrod fortress was built in 1228 by the governor of the Baniasal-Aziz Ottoman, from the Iobean dynasty, to block the way before the invading army of the emperor of Germany who threatened to rise from acre to Damascus. Initially, it was a relatively small and unsophisticated fortress, but after its conquest by the Mameluk Sultan Baybars, the fortress became an area of the most huge and impressive fortifications.
With the final expulsion of the Crusaders from Palestine in the 13th century C. E., The Fortress lost its strategic importance, and from the 15th century, it served as a prison for nobles who rebelled against Central Power. During the period of Ottoman rule in the region, the fortress began to lose its status until its final abandonment. For centuries, the fortress stood in his custody and served as a shelter for shepherds and passers-by. On the eve of the Six-Day War, the fortress served as an observation post for the Syrian gun range, with the liberation of the Golan Heights and the Hermon by Israel it was declared a national park.
