Best places: Nature preserves in Israel

👍👍 One of my favorite places in the whole world... Either walk (2-3 hrs from Midreshet Sde Boker, 3-4 hrs back) or drive in a high 4x4 . This place is one of a kind, a refreshing spring you can swim in . Might be crowded so better come early ... Note there is almost no shade at the area . Winter is gr...

Self-guided tours through a small limestone cave noted for its diverse stalactites & stalagmites.

👍👍 A wonderful walking trail. A bit challenging though. Takes around hour and a half to complete. Has plenty of spots where people can jump in the water!

Hikes in a reserve encompassing the Nahal Ayun river & its steep gorge, with 4 waterfalls.

👍👍 Beautiful lookout on turquoise water area! This place is about 10 minutes walk from the road.

👍👍 It's a bit of a hike but absolutely worth it. Pick the right time of the year so you can enjoy the pool. They have a pamphlet in English if you want. Saw some cars halfway down not sure how they got there. Might need 4 wheel drive for that. They do have a lifeguard on duty just check what times they...

Wetland reserve with wet & dry hiking trails, a shaded picnic area & pools for swimming.

Protected landscape of beaches, bays & sandstone ridges, with the remains of an ancient harbor town.

Lush wetlands known for its diverse range of migratory birds, marsh animals & rare water plants.

👍👍 Beautiful nature, 2km downhill walk to see the waterfall, worth every minute. Recommend swimming in the freezing water

👍👍 Small and beautiful reserve that you just have to visit. Come early when it's still quiet and enjoy the beautiful natural. The walking path is not difficult or long and you can allocate 3 hours for everything if you are in a hurry. Don't forget your camera 😉

👍👍 Amaing circular trail over the merno mount, make sure not to miss the signs, you can find yourself going down the hill for two hours far from your transportation. The place has an eye contact with lebanon, a small part of syria and of course israel.

👍👍 A wonderful piece of wildlife in the bustling city. Access to the beach has been made more convenient than before. The plants are signed and protected. Beautiful flowers and fragrances.

👍👍 Beautiful scenery and lovely walks. There is a cafe to enjoy a snack and a drink.. Very enjoyable time spent there. Loved it

👍👍 Beautiful place right on the edge of the neighborhood. You can take a long walk or short uphill or flat.

👍👍 Fantastic 360 view from the Gilboa mountain. It’s a great place to visit and enjoy the fresh air. This lookout point is a memory of the heroic soldier Eduard Korol that fell in battle.

👍👍 Beautiful park. There are two routes. A short of about hours back and forth from the same direction, to an angular and circular waterfall of about four hours. You should go out with plenty of water, on hot days, the heat is severe if you are without enough water. If you do the circular route you...

👍👍 One of the best hiking experience in Israel! Perfect in winter-spring times.
