10 minutes from the Banyas national park and falls

Below a steep cliff, the cold waters of the Banyas spring, one of the sources of the Jordan River, gush forth. The Banyas Nature Reserve, encompasses the upper Nahal Hermon, the Banyas waterfall and a number of archaeological sites, including remains of a Greek temple dedicated to the goat-footed god Pan. The trails in the reserve pass along bubbling springs, brooks and waterfalls, in the midst of thick riverbank vegetation, and the reserve gives a pleasant refuge from the sun even in summer.

15 minutes from the Ayoun national park

The Ayun stream flows from the Ayun (Ijon in the Bible) valley in Lebanon. 
The stream has carved out a small vegetated canyon, on the East side of Metulla, as it flows down from the valley, on its way to the Jorden River and the Sea of Galilee. There are four waterfalls in the reserve: the Ayoun falls, 9.2 meters high; the mill falls, 21 meters; the cascade falls, 9.5 and 5 meters; and the 'Oven' (Tanur) falls, 30 meters.
