Katzrinקצרין
Spend a half‑day to see the museum and winery; add a night at Golan Garden Hostel if you want a base for Golan Heights day trips.
Katzrin is the largest Jewish town in the Golan Heights, offering a compact historic centre, the Golan Archaeological Museum, an ancient‑village site, and nearby wineries. A short visit (4–6 h) covers the main sights; stay overnight to use it as a hub for exploring the wider Golan.
