A botanical garden that is the life's work of one man - the garden is now celebrating 60 - Etai founded it with his own hands and nurtured it over the years (and has since retired - he does it full time). He ensures you walk only on paths that will lead you between small ponds and the trees. In the 300-meter garden, you will find different types of plants and magical areas of trees. Since this is a private place, there are clear and strict rules: Up to 3 people - can come and travel without guidance. Over three people - you can travel only with guidance that costs money. According to him, it is unsuitable for children under the age of 8.

A fun place to learn about Zionism, agriculture, and the establishment of Kfar Malal. The museum as indoor and outdoor exhibits that deal with the lives of the pioneers, the pioneers, and the working settlement. There is also a film that deals with the history of Kfar Malal, from which you can learn about the difficult life of farmers in Israel. Shmulik, the manager, told us about the struggles of the place, and it was fascinating.

A fun hike for all ages - Agamon Hefer - an accessible route around the lake and turtles in the water. On the way, you will find at least two, groves with picnic tables and a place to spread out a mat - if you want to have breakfast in nature, you can do it here. In the Agamon you can eat at the observation points on the lake or at points along the route where you can go down to the lake. The hike is pleasant, accessible, and linear - you reach the observation point at the end and return. At the beginning of the road, there is also an observation point on the lake on the right. We saw the turtles right toward the end, and the children were excited to see it. The hike takes about one hour.

This place is simply stunning and the name "Kfar Bloom Dam" does it a bit of an injustice." Kfar Blum Falls" is more appropriate because the result of this dam is beautiful flowing and foaming waterfalls that flow into the clear Jordan waters and all this in a shaded area. You will find several corners for a picnic or a coffee breakStunning view of the falls and a small natural pool next to them for those who want to wade their feet while looking at them through the trees. Near the falls, the current is strong and dangerous to enter. When you get a little further away, the current calm down. In any case, there is no lifeguard, and swimming is the responsibility of the bathers.

Talking walls project in Shtula - a stunning collaboration of the residents of Shtula with artists from around the world. On the border of Lebanon, on the wall that separates us from the Lebanese side, in 2018, artists from around the world painted spectacular graffiti paintings that deal with the region, the war, and the hope for peace. Along the wall, some holes overlookfantastic the other side, the Lebanese side. It is a fascinating place, and the drive on the road to Shtula in the amazing landscape of the border area is an experience in itself.

A pleasant park near the Alexander stream. There is an accessible central route (about 700 meters) that ends in a beautiful bridge over the water. There are many picnic areas in the grass and small groves with picnic benches and facilities for children. In addition, you will also find there a coffee cart called Akhukapa that is open on Saturdays. There are several tables nearby, but in my opinion, it is better to bring a mat, take away what you bought, and sit in one of the corners of the park.

A fascinating trip for the whole family - a UNESCO world heritage site in the Carmel region, which provides a glimpse into prehistory: caves where people lived hundreds of thousands of years ago. There are several hikes of different lengths. We chose an easy route of 400 meters - the ancient man cave route leading from the entrance to 3 caves - the Furnace Cave, the Camel Cave, and the Nahal Cave. There is a short climb of a few minutes to the area of the caves that are up the mountain next to each other. Two of them can be overlooked, and youStunninglovely can enter the third - the largest - It is stunning in its beauty At the end of the cave, there is a film during which the cave walls are illuminated - describing the life of the ancient man in the caves. Next to the first cave, the oven cave, there is a square with a very nice view of the surroundings.

A fascinating trip to a village that until September 2022 was closed to Israeli travelers - Ghajar The history of the village is crazy: the village is in Golan Heights. The vast majority of its residents (about 2700 residents in the village) are Alawite-Arabs (a sect of Islam). Most Alawites in the world live in Syria, and this is also the group that controls Syria. , and theillage was part of Syria. The IDF arrived there as part of the battles of 1967. Due to confusion on the maps, they thought it was a Lebanese village. Because in 1967, Lebanon did not fight against us, and Israel did not occupy the village. The Lebanese refused to accept them because they did not want to conflict with Syria. Only after a few months Israel returned and took responsibility for the village (connection tThis village was also annexed whenter, electricity, etc.). When the Golan Heights this Thellage was also annexed. he problems arose again with Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000. The UN representatives determined that the border passes through the center of the village, and Israeli military and police forces can only enter the south of the village. The other part passed under the control of Hezbollah, which spread out there. The residents of this part were defined as "Israeli citizens on hostile territory." The entry to the village (beyond Ajjar residents and IDF soldiers) was only subject to approval from the Ministry of Defense and accompanied by a local guide. In September 2022, the restrictions were lifted. Every evening at 20:00, it closes until 6:00 in the morning. So here is the complete guide to Ghajar: What to do in Ghajar? Park in the center or at the entrance to the village (that's where the cars are turned when it's full) and walk along the boardwalk, the small streets, and the park. Ghajarhas several characteristics: Well-kept fields. In the central square, you will see te figure of Elijah,, the prophet who symbolizes peace and in the more northern square, the symbol of the A. The space is very well maintained - trees, flowers and a new park established in 2017 - Peace Park - with beautiful little corners and a playground. Viewpoints of Lebanon - it's unbelievable how close it is. There are views along the entire boardwalk of the Lebanese villages opposite. Towards the northern part of the village, the promenade turns into an arWhatith a fence. what to eat? In the village, there are personal initiatives of residents who open restaurants In their houses and in the central square, there is an atmosphere of celebration with mini food trucks and music. We had lunch at Pada's - in front of the entrance to Peace Park - it was the first day she opened the house's courtyardurtyard of the house with breakfasts and grilled fish. The smell of the fish attracted us, and the meal centered on the pink trout was excellent (especially the pink trout - NIS 90). Breakfast includes Syrian dishes prepared by her mother-in-law. She gave me a taste of kishik from breakfast - a kind of hot yogurt stew with anise seeds and bulgur - strange and delicious. Fada's husband is a chef who prepares chef meals to order. For dessert - El Khatib Sweets - a few minutes walk from Fada - the knapa was excellent - not flooded with sugar water but just the right amount of sweet. How do you travel? Some come on an organized trip with a guide. My partner and I arrived alone. When we were traveling, I heard a guide explaining and accompanying a group a,nd I took a phone call from him - if you are interested write to me, and I will send it to you. We were traveling independently,, and then we saw a golf car transporting tourists in the village - this is Hussein, a cute 17-year-old boy who gives those interested a fifteen-minute tour in a club car through the streets of the village. It sounds little, but it is enough. It's a small village (about 2700 inhabitants), and from the tour, you definitely get a general idea and you can continue walking afterward.If you want his phone number, write to me Is it scary? No. We met smiling and welcoming residents. Over the years, there have been a few events in the area. I want to believe that if the army opened the place, they know what they are doing. When to arrive? Friday-Saturday have become busy days in the village that is trying to get used to the new situation, so try to arrive early What to bring? Here I come to the tip of the tip - cash. This is the most important because not everywhere you can pay with credit. And most importantly - it seems that the fact that the village was closed for many years created a clean and well-kept bubble. Now masses of Israeli travelers are starting to arrive. I've already heard of travelers who started picking flowers for them from the well-kept gardens and the like - don't spoil them - don't pick, don't climb the fountains, and don't have a barbecue in the park, please.

A perfect place for all ages: Ariel Sharon Park is a huge and beautiful place with the qualities of a botanical garden. There are huge lawns, accessible paths (and it is very good to bring strollers and bicycles for the children), many types of trees grow around, and there are many places for a picnic - picnic tables are scattered throughout the space, and you can, of course, spread blankets on the grass). There is a view of the lake and, next to it - a coffee cart that is open on Saturdays. There are many observation points that are great for watching planes crossing the sky. Free entry and free parking. The park is open until 17:00

At the Boulder Farmers Market, you will find products from local growers and producers only: meat, cheeses, vegetables and fruits, honey, and more. In addition, there are food stalls and performances by street artists.

In 1859, gold was found for the first time in Colorado, in Idaho Springs. Entrepreneurs, professionals, and laborers flocked to the area, turning it into a gold mining district. The developers of the Argo tunnel dug a tunnel for ten years, to which gold mines were connected throughout the region for water drainage, ventilation, and gold transport. On January 19, 1943, a flooding accident occurred in the tunnel, and its activity was permanently stopped. The site was abandoned until it was purchased by a local developer who turned it into a visitor center. The tour lasted about an hour and a quarter and included explanations of the method of gold mining, the construction of the tunnel and how to use it, the processing of the gold, and its sale. On tour, each participant received a plate of sand, in which some gold leaves were planted in advance, and the guide taught us how the workers separated the gold from the rocks and sand. There is also a small visitor center and souvenir shop. Nice!

The town of Estes Park is the main gateway to the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The place is full of hotels and accommodation cabins, and in the summer season also events and activities for tourists. We took a very lovely cabin at Sunnyside Knoll Resort, which was very pleasant for us to rest between days of hiking in the Rocky Mountains, and it is highly recommended. One of the most important places for us was the Safeway supermarket, which also has a Starbucks branch. The place opens at 6 AM, so we started the day there, bought groceries for the trip (fresh bread, cheese, vegetables), and drank the morning coffee with a nice pastry. The town merges with the surrounding nature. All trash cans are locked to prevent bears from reaching the urban area, and guests are asked not to leave food or trash outside. On one of our trips, we saw a whole herd of elks in a city park: In the center of the city stretches Lake Estes, which serves as a place for swimming and picnic for locals and tourists:
