Right now there are thousands of cyclamen on the beautiful hill in Tal Shahar. Wherever you go, you will see them - pink and white. Please note that there are no cyclamens at the entrance to the forest. A short climb up will bring you to the promised beauty. And in the forest, without any specific route, I suggest you just hike the trails and don’t step on the cyclamen. You should walk between them carefully.
