Belvoir (Kokhav HaYarden) National Park
The centerpiece of this national park is its magnificently preserved Crusader fortress. Built in the twelfth century, the fortress stands on a plateau high over the Jordan Valley, hence its Hebrew name, “star of the Jordan.” Its medieval name, Belvoir, means “beautiful view” – that has not changed in a thousand years. Your walking tour through the fortress will reveal halls, cisterns, and the secret of its strength. The adjacent sculpture garden displays works by the famous Israeli artist Yigal Tomarkin.
