Hi,
As yesterday trip was great, we followed the same concept: first we visited Saar waterfall and then we climbed up to play in the snow.
Saar stream is the line that separate the Hermon from Golan heights. It starts from Saar spring, which is just over the Israeli-Syrian border near Majdal Shams. As it only 6km long (before it flows to Hermon stream), but have change elevation of 500km it has many waterfalls and cascades and two big waterfalls: Saar and Resisim (=Water spary).
The waterfalls are dry during most of the year and flows after heavy rain (like we had now thanks to Elpis storm).
After visiting the waterfall we climb up to play in the snow near Majdal Shams. We figured out this is the highest point in Golan Heights without climbing to the Hermon. So there must still be enough snow to play in – and we were right.

Xuxa enjoying the sun. Yesterday she refused to step on the snow, and now she pretty much OK with it.
Making tea from the snow (not really, the gas was out and we stopped to buy a new ballon).
