It is is located 50 meters from the Sea of Galilee, it creats a small pool that flow into the sea.
Story of little fishes
It is described by someone that every night, when people leave the area, small fish from the sea swim against the stream into the the small pool to evade predators, and specifically, to escape the catfish.
The most interesting thing is that in the morning, the first people who arrive at the waterfall scare the fish back into the sea, where hundreds of catfish are awaiting for them with open jaws.
