A small and charming community nature park. The park is intended to restore various plants and animals typical of the Sharon area, and it serves as a refuge for them. It has comfortable walking trails, picnic meadows and a hill that children run up and down and turn into a natural slide ... In the center of the park, you will find the winter pool. It is a large puddle, which fills up every year after the rains. It is a habitat for animals and plants. We listened to the singing of frogs, looked at the species of plants, walked the trails, and had a picnic. The tour of the park lasts about half an hour. You can continue walking on the paths of the adjacent forest. Do not forget to bring food and drink with you. For more trips in the Sharon area press here. Enjoy🤗

In the middle of a residential neighborhood, there is a large, green, and beautiful park. It has comfortable walking trails, and in the middle of the park, there is a large and impressive winter pool. It is so vast it looks like a lake. The pool is beautiful; ducks swim in it, some of the vegetation is in the water (large trees emerge from the lake because it is dry there in summer), and some grow at the pool’s edge. We hiked in the rain, and it was beautiful. One of the beautiful things in the pool is the branches of the trees that protrude out of the water and into them. On dry days you can use the picnic tables and facilities for children. For more trips in the area press here Enjoy🤗

Ein Afek Nature Reserve is a national park filled with vegetation, overlooking water sources and the main attraction - a wood bridge over the water. The Park preserves the springs and habitats of Nahal Naaman springs. There are two options for leisurely strolls. The route known as "long" is actually circular and short. It passes the flour mill. You can enter it and climb inside the stairs to observe the park from the roof. You walk trails with green aquatic vegetation around, hear crickets and frogs, and then reach the floating bridge. The short route leads directly to the wooden bridge. The wooden bridge floats on the water and seeks to give a feeling of walking on water. The combination of water, the wooden bridge, and vegetation provide a sense of a tropical area in Thailand. ✅Parents of young children, please note - there is no railing along the bridge. The children must be supervised. ✅There are picnic tables with benches and plenty of shaded areas. ✅Near the entrance, there is a small garden and a garden with an explanation next to each plant. ✅Please note – you cannot enter the water.

The Haifa City Museum is located in the German Colony in a 19th century Templar’s House. Friday-Saturday admission is free. In the room near the entrance, there is a small permanent exhibition on the development of Haifa. In the room, you go through the timeline from the formation of Haifa to the present while mentioning the main stations and presenting objects from different periods. Alongside the permanent exhibition, there are rotating exhibitions. We visited two fascinating exhibitions. The first exhibition is dedicated to the LGBT community in Haifa and in Israel. It tells a story of marginalization, silence, violence against community members and associations, and the struggle to bring about change. The second exhibition deals with former USSR expatriates in Israel. It presents the pain of immigration, cultural gaps, and integration into Israeli society. Alongside objects and installations, short films are screened that represent in animation the migration complexity and stories of museum workers in Haifa who came from the USSR fill boxes in the exhibition. Outside, there are some games for kids designed to illustrate what immigration is. Enjoy🤗

The German Colony is one of the most beautiful and intriguing streets in Haifa. The upper part is bounded by the gorgeous Baha'i Gardens, and the lower part descends towards the sea. You will find charming houses from the 19th century, restaurants, cafes, and the interesting city museum in the middle. The Templars were Germans who came to Israel in the 19th century believed that settlement here would lead to the redemption of the world. They brought their knowledge and tradition and made the place a replica of a modern German town. Several houses in the contemporary colony remained from those years and are now designated for preservation. Along the street, there are signs and a map guiding you to the houses Shopping enthusiasts: In the City Center, you will find an outlet with several brands. It is also open on Saturdays. At the end of the first floor, a small beer bar serves excellent beers from the barrel, food next to the beer (like hot dogs). There is an option to fill beer in bottles to take home.

The Baha'is are a small and intriguing religion. The Bahai’s roots are in Islam, but it is not defined as a stream of Islam and, in Iran, is even persecuted. It has millions of believers globally, and they believe in equality, justice, solidarity, and pacifism. Its global centers are in Acre and Haifa.

Little Switzerland - Nahal Kalach is a spectacular trail in Carmel Mountain. At some parts, you walk in the forest, at other parts there are marvelous viewpoints. You start on the path marked in white-red-white and return on the path marked in green. In May we came again because it is one of the only places in Israel where you can find a white lily. It is rare, endangered, does not bloom in large clusters. Israel Nature and Parks Authority wrap in barbed wire the places where it is growing. Looking for the White Lily is an excuse to walk again in this beautiful trail overlooking the Carmel... Enjoy🤗 For more places in Haifa press here
