Spectacular Stream on Winter Time

The Saar River is a disappointing stream, meaning that no water flows in it all year round but only in winter – the flow in winter compensates for the dry days. The stream passes between the Golan Heights and Hermon, and begins its flow at Ein Saar near the settlement of Majdal Shams and empties into Banias. The flow in the winter and early spring season is very impressive and it is definitely recommended to visit the creek during this period.

Tracks of The Saar River

The Saar River can be known in depth in two different ways:
The first route , about 3 km long, starts at the Friendship Bridge near the village of Ein Kana. The route is in the direction of the shards waterfall, and from there back the same way.
The second route also starts at the shards waterfall, and the walk in it is towards Saar Falls and lasts about 3.5 km. The vehicle must be left at the end of the route at the Nahal Sa’ar junction.
