Ibelin, Balian’s castle and farm

The crusader army’s route of advance towards Hattin

The view from the slopes of Hattin towards Tiberias (which lies just beyond the labelled town of Kfar Hitim) and the Sea of Galilee. The red marker is on the summit of the hill at Hattin where the last Crusaders surrendered.

Krak des Chevaliers (not to be confused with Kerak, the fortress held by Reynald de Chattilon) was a powerful castle and the main base of the Knights Hospitaller. It is incredibly well preserved and was never taken by force. Although not mentioned in the movie, it’s well worth a look.
