Please note: A police station is planned for the site, and work began there in September 2025. It's a good idea to check that the place is still open.

More about the place
The name "Mitzpetel" combines "mitzpe" (lookout) and "tel" (hill), and residents of Armon HaNatziv were the ones who coined it. Looking north from the hill you can see the Old City, to the east the Dead Sea and the Moab Mountains, and to the south the Herodion. The lupines bloom in late winter, usually in February and March, while in the autumn and early winter, squills (chatzavim), meadow saffron (sitvaniyot), and crocuses bloom here. You can navigate to "Mitzpetel" on Waze, and there is parking right next to the hill.
