Dan Nature Reserve

A walk through the Dan Nature Reserve, within which are the source of the river Dan and the ancient remains on Tel Dan, is a very rewarding experience. From the entrance to the reserve there are two waymarked trails, the longer of the two being particularly attractive. This runs through dense vegetation, over wooden bridges and a number of caves to the source of the Dan, which has been left in its natural, unspoiled state, and from there up to Tel Dan.

Excavations which have been in progress here since 1965 have brought to light the remains of a town gate of the 10th century B.C. on the south side of the site, from which a flight of steps leads up to a platform measuring 18.7m/61ft by 18.2m/60ft, probably the remains of an Israelite shrine.
