Please note: Entering the water is prohibited. There are minefields near the reserve, so walk only on marked trails.
You can enter from the waterfall or from the springs. It's also worth walking the hiking trail, and you can combine it with Nimrod Fortress.

More about the place
The Hermon Stream Nature Reserve, known as the Banias, is located at the foot of Mount Hermon near Kibbutz Snir. Next to the springs is a large cave in the cliff where a temple to the Greek god Pan once stood, as well as remains of the ancient city named after him—which is the origin of the name Banias. From the springs, a trail heads down along the stream to the Banias Waterfall, and near the waterfall there is also the 'Hanging Trail', a steel and wood bridge about 100 meters long suspended above the stream.
