More about the place
The lookout is at the northern edge of Moshav Margaliot, on the Ramim Ridge in the Naftali Mountains, and was built with the help of KKL-JNF in memory of IDF Chief of Staff Amnon Lipkin-Shahak. It overlooks the Hula Valley, the Golan Heights, and Mount Hermon. A short distance away, alongside the access road to the moshav, are the ruins of the Hunin Fortress, a citadel built by the Crusaders in the 12th century. You get there via Route 90, north of Kiryat Shmona, on the road that heads up toward Kfar Giladi and Misgav Am, turning toward Margaliot at the junction.
