Meshushim (Hexagon) Pool
In Hebrew: בריכת המשושים
Please note: In tests from early October 2026, contamination above standard levels was found in the water, and the instruction is not to enter the water until tests come back clear. Worth checking before going in.
An out-and-back trail to the pool: about 20 minutes going down, about half an hour coming up.

More about the place
Meshushim Pool is a natural pool in Nahal Meshushim, located in the Yehudiya Forest Nature Reserve in the central-southern part of the Golan Heights. Its walls are formed by basalt columns up to about 5 meters high, most of them with five or six sides—a shape created when lava flows cooled and contracted. You reach it via Route 888, which climbs up from Beit Tsaida Junction and passes near Had Nes; turn right at the signposted turnoff onto a dirt road that ends at the shaded Meshushim parking lot, and from there hike down along marked trails to the pool. The visit takes about an hour and a half at a moderate difficulty level, and entry is paid, during Israel Nature and Parks Authority opening hours.
