Mitzpe Ramon

Mitzpe Ramon is situated in the Central Negev Mountain region on the edge of the Ramon Crater (Makhtesh Ramon), which is the largest Nature Reserve in Israel. At the heart of the reserve is a terrace which overlooks the magnificent Crater’s view. The Ramon Crater is an erosion cirque, the largest of its kind, and one of only seven like it in the world. It is a unique nature and landscape phenomenon and a wondrous creation, which forms over millions of years by amazingly powerful natural forces. Geological movements, erosion processes and volcanic activity are those which create these wild landscape views of the crater. In addition, there is also the small zoo of the Hai-Ramom here on the edge of the crater near the visitor center, which includes a collection of small desert animals such as snakes, lizards, rodents, hedgehogs, porcupines, scorpions and more. There is also the Natural Sculpture Park, in which environmental sculptures are integrated perfectly into the landscape of the Ramon Crater, with ibexes that walk among them, a desert zoological garden and even an alpaca farm which is located nearby.
