Hiking

Caves are dug into the slopes of Mount Arbel, which served as hiding places for Jews fighting the Greeks and Romans. These were expanded by the Druze in the 17th century, but the original caves are proven to date from the Second Temple period. Josephus writes of the Roman conquest of some of the last Hasmonean rebels who lived in the cliffs of Mount Arbel.
