Upper Amud (there is Lower Amud, but we’ll talk another time about it) is considered one of the most interesting canyons of the Northern Israel, combining attractions such as the “flora and fauna”, and many objects of interest for the lovers of ruins, history and mix of cultures. Here we will see the concrete buildings of the British Mandate riddled with bullet holes, beautiful staircase leading off to the cool water, stunning views of Safed and the Galilee, the abandoned mill and the pressing cotton station, pomegranate orchards, olives, figs, almonds and walnuts, as well as numerous water hazards (no deeper than up to ankles, though), and of course, the swimming pools, which are so nice to swim in the heat, the waterfalls, and even the grave of a Sheikh. Its picturesque building, located on a spur of a rock, also has the stunning views of the Galilee.

As I wrote above, this is not just a hike through the beautiful gorge, but also a little trip back in time to the ancient and modern history, in the way to which we will pass the springs, aqueducts, gardens (each of these words naturally pull several hundreds of others), etc.
