Nahal Yir'on

Nahal Yiron is one of the tributaries of Nahal Dishon in the eastern Upper Galilee of Israel.

Geography
The stream begins at the Israel-Lebanon border at an altitude of 765 meters above sea level, near Kibbutz Yir'on, below "Ein Dama," which is identified as the biblical "Waters of Merom". It flows southeast and ends at an altitude of 465 meters above sea level at its confluence with Nahal Dishon.

The name of the stream is the same as the biblical city of Yir'on, which is identified with the Lebanese village of Yaron.

At the beginning of the stream, there are remains of an ancient winepress, and along its steep path, there are three caves on the southern hillside (Ramat Baram), including a cave known as the "Cave of the Three Bears." On the northern hillside of the stream (Ramat Yiron) is the spring Ein Yiron.

Alongside the stream bed runs the Northern Road (Route 899).
