Tanur Waterfall

In Hebrew: מפל התנור

Please note: The reserve is close to the Lebanese border and was closed during the war. It's a good idea to check that it is open, as well as the Home Front Command guidelines, before heading out.

More about the place

Tanur Waterfall is a waterfall of about 30 meters in the Nahal Iyon Nature Reserve near Metula, and the tallest of the four waterfalls in the reserve. The water plunges down a cliff that has eroded into a chimney shape, and according to one theory, the name comes from its resemblance to a clay oven (tanur). In winter the flow is strong, and in summer it is weaker because some of the water is diverted for irrigation. From the lower entrance of the reserve, it's a walk of a few hundred meters to reach it, and along the way there is a lookout point, Gafni Lookout.
