It’s not unusual to find a river in the stones here in Israel. Or green and hilly fields of wildflowers. But the combination of these two elements in such a striking way turned Nahal Tavor into a secret paradise, tucked away from the crowds.
Special Feature: Water
The Sorek Estuary at Palmahim
Past the straight up majesty of this forest to beach trail, there’s a world of tiny wonder laying like gemstones, hidden in cracks.
Nahal Kina – Judean Desert
Getting away to this part of the desert felt like an unusual mix of nature and nostalgia. It was escaping the ruckus of everyday life and reaching a simpler time and place.
Nahal Arugot and the Fairy Pools
Nahal Arugot, the Hidden Waterfall, and the Fairy Pool up above were like secrets of the desert, just waiting to be discovered by anyone willing to dig a little deeper.
Nahal HaShofet – Walk on the River
Down off the path, over some slippery rocks, water poured down from above, crashing into an emerald pool below.
