Katzrin
Located in the heart of the Golan Heights, Katzrin is surrounded by breathtaking views: to the south, the enchanting scenery of the Sea of Galilee; to the north, Mt. Hermon in all its majesty and to the west, the rolling green hills of the Galil. Katzrin was founded in 1977 as the capital city of the Golan. Katzrin was planned to serve as an urban center, providing diverse services to rural communities. The population of Katzrin has now reached some 8,100, of which 30% are immigrants from the former Soviet Union, and it is expected to grow into a city of 25,000 residents. Hebrew, Russian, Spanish and English can be heard in the streets, spoken by the town’s population.
