At the Nahal Pura Nature Reserve, mid-winter is a happy time. From riverbeds to buried treasure, this National Park contains all kinds of surprises waiting to be stumbled upon.
Duration: Up to Half Day
Givat HaTurmosim – Simple and Fancy
With a mid-winter burst of spring like the one found on Givat HaTurmosim, it’s no surprise that everyone around flocks to this spot for a much-needed dose of natural beauty. Add a good trail walk through quiet scenery and you’ll have a great morning in the great outdoors.
Nahal Alexander – River Walk to the Beach
A gentle drizzle began to fall from the sky. We put our hoods up and walked along the river, through the groves and all the way back to Turtle Bridge.
Fields of Red in the Ruhama Badlands
It was still early in the morning. And the light that filtered through the soft clouds rested gently on a field of tightly closed, red anemones. In between were soft pillows of yellow and bright pops of purple. We had arrived.
Ben Shemen Forest Walk
A small trail into a thicket of trees and a dense carpet of cyclamen beckoned. So, we followed it.
