More about the place
Ein Pik is a small spring in the southern Golan Heights, south of Kibbutz Afik, flowing out from beneath the ruins of the village of Pik, its name preserving that of the ancient Jewish settlement of Apheca. From the parking area, it's a few minutes' walk along a wide, paved path to an observation terrace overlooking Nahal Ein Gev. From there, stairs with a handrail lead down alongside a small aqueduct to a small pool fed by spring water flowing from a basalt cave. Fig, olive, and pomegranate trees grow along the descent, and there are benches to sit on.
