Strange as it sounds, there is a small deer forest in the Golan, created by a member of Moshav Odem, who imported deer to create a tourist attraction aimed at children. A guided tour of the forest reveals the difference between different types of deer and the Jewish connection of some of them. Some of the deer roam free while others are behind fences, but can be touched and fed.
In addition to the deer, the park offers activities for children. Small animals such as baby goats, rabbits, chicks and guinea pigs are available for petting. Pedal “cars” can be driven around a track and trampolines are set up for jumping and flipping. “Tubing” down a dry slide is particularly fun, although small kids will need help dragging the tube up to the top. Little kids will love the obstacle course leading to a small zip line and the pony rides.
Moshav Odem is located pretty far north, so a visit to the deer forest can be combined with visits to Metullah, the Hermon and Kiryat Shemonah. In the summer, camping in the forest can be a fun experience. This area is very cold and windy (not the usual Israel weather) so camping should only be considered on hot days.
The deer forest website is in Hebrew and includes a video showing the various activities at the site.
