More about the place
According to conjecture, the tel is the city of Gimzo mentioned in the Book of Chronicles, and in Chazal literature the settlement is noted as the home of the Tanna Nachum Ish Gimzo. The site was initially named "Mitzpe HaShnayim" in memory of two fighters from the Religious Company who fell in the War of Independence, and later "Ma'alot Yehonatan" in memory of Yehonatan Einhorn, who fell in the Second Lebanon War. On the lookout deck there is also a wooden swing, offering views to the east toward the Ayalon Valley and Modi'in, and to the west toward Gush Dan. An easy circular walking trail heads out from the viewpoint.
