Introduction to Merom Golan, Israel

Located close to the border with Syria and formerly a part of Israel's neighbour, Merom Golan is a small Jewish settlement in the northernmost Golan Heights. It was built in the late 1960s on the site of an abandoned military camp, formerly known as Aleika. Today, the population remains small, at just over 500 people, but is growing. The main attraction here is undoubtedly the metal sculpture work of a local resident. A member of the Merom Golan kibbutz, Johannes de Jong makes his art pieces from reused scrap metal. The village makes an ideal base for outdoor walking, with its high elevation at over 3,000 feet above sea level and green surrounding countryside which comes alive with colour in autumn and often gets snow in winter. Horseback riding is possible on the hilly trails. Merom Golan hotels are based around the kibbutz, with some good resorts with all mod-cons available and ideal for families.
