BANIAS NATURE RESERVE THIS JANUARY 17, 2015 MORE SEATS AVAILABLE The Banias Nature Reserve contains an abundance of natural and historical beauty, from the ruins of ancient cities to the roaring Banias Waterfall – the biggest waterfall in Israel. Found in the Upper Golan between the fertile Hula Valley and the Mount Hermon mountain area, the Banias is a favorite for those visiting the Golan. Hours can be spent at the Banias; walking the trails, exploring the ruins and picnicking in the lush green woodlands. The Banias can be entered in two separate locations; the Falls and the Springs. The Falls entrance is the first one on the road heading northeast and allows one to visit the Banias Waterfall with ease – just a short walk down to the suspended trail. The Springs entrance takes one to the old temple complex that is now mere ruins of what once was a Greek and Roman testament to their rule of ancient Israel and their devotion to their gods. The name Banias is actually an Arabic corruption of the word Panias or Paneus – of the Greek god Pan, god of the forests and shepherds.
