On Mount Adir, not far from Kibbutz Sasa, the Israel Nature and Parks Authority has prepared a beautiful observation post. The observatory stands in the heart of an evergreen grove and overlooks the expanses of the Galilee and southern Lebanon.
Mount Adir, one of the highest mountains in the Galilee, rises to 1,008 m above sea level. The mountain slopes are covered with a well-developed forest. The trees that control it are oak and wormwood, and other accompaniments of the grove, such as terebinth, the thorny hawthorn and the common catfish. At the top of the mountain there is a military camp (easy to identify according to the many antennas). On the northern slope, a small group of Mountain Ash, a rare species of wood, that grows in Israel.
