Description: The Hexagon Pool, or in Hebrew Brechat Meshushim is an interesting pool naturally created by the Meshushim river. The pool, at the bottom of a canyon, is named after the shape of the hexagonal basalt columns that make up its walls. This geological formation was created by the slow cooling of layers of lava flows over an extended period. When the lava solidified and cooled, it was split into polygonal shapes due to its contraction. Despite the impression it gives that it is man-made, the walls are completely a work of nature. To get there we will Leave Ein Keshatot as we arrived to it and turn left (North) at the intersection with Road 808. We will pass Ani'am again and immediately after there we will turn left (West) at Road 869, travelling on this road until its end at the intersection with Road 92. There we will take a right (North) again, and travel until the end of Road 92 and its intersection with Road 87, where we will turn left (West) and then right (North) on Road 888 in the direction of Had Nes. We will pass the village of Had Nes in our right, and then continue in the road for some Kilometers more until the entrance to the Meshushim Reserve. The way seems complicated, but it takes only 35 minutes to get there.
