Rosh Pinna Attractions
Rosh Pinna, 26km/16mi north of Tiberias and 10km/6mi east of Safed, was the first Jewish village in Upper Galilee. It owes its present importance to its airport, which handles domestic flights. Immigrants from Romania settled in this rocky country in 1882, calling their village Rosh Pinna ("Cornerstone") after Psalm 118,22. With financial help from Baron Edmond de Rothschild they were able to cultivate the land and develop the area.
