Mount Tabor
Mount Tabor has been mentioned several time in the old testament. It is a tribal border and the place where Deborah and Barak fought the war against Sisra. It is of course known as the moutain that Jesus made the miracle of transfiguration On site there is a beautiful panoramic view. This is the place to read from Mark 9 : " And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them, 3 and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses"
