Har Barkan (Mount Barkan) is a peak in the Gilboa range offering panoramic views of the Jezreel Valley and the Beit She’an Valley. The mountain is part of the Gilboa scenic drive and is known for its spring wildflower displays, including the rare Gilboa iris. The viewpoint at the summit provides one of the best perspectives on the geography of the valleys, connecting the biblical and modern stories of the region.
The area around Har Barkan is popular with hikers and cyclists, especially during the February-April wildflower season when the slopes are covered in iris, anemone, and cyclamen.
