On the eastern most portion of the Golan Heights that Israel controls is the kibbutz called Merom Golan (‘heights of Golan’) and an overlook/coffee shop operated by the kibbutz. (The coffee shop has a name of “Coffee Anan,” which they insist is not named after the former UN Secretary General but rather the words kaffee (coffee in most languages, including Hebrew), and anan, a word here which translates into “cloud,” perhaps signifying that we were high on the Heights.

There was an Israeli bunker emplacement that we visited there, and we could see the distant Syrian town of Kuneitra, as well as the cease fire line from 1973. In this photo you can see the distance in kilometers it is to various important places in the Middle East.
