Tel Goded

Description: The highest point in Britannia Park affords a spectacular view of the park’s woodlands, the Judean plain and the Hebron Mountains. The view west is of the coastal plain. The hill is identified with Moreshet Gat, the city of the prophet Micah. On its eastern slopes not far from Route 38 are the remains of an aqueduct that conducted water from the springs of the Hebron Mountains to Beit Guvrin.
