More about the place

Har Barkan is one of the peaks of the Gilboa ridge, at an elevation of about 500 meters, roughly two km southwest of Kibbutz Heftziba, within the Gilboa Nature Reserve. At the top of the mountain there is an observation plaza offering views of the Jezreel, Harod, and Beit She'an valleys. A short circular trail leads out from the plaza around the summit, along which are water cisterns, an ancient winepress, and the remains of an ancient settlement. In the months of March and April, the Gilboa iris blooms on the mountain—a large, protected flower that grows almost exclusively in this area.
