All information about Kerem Carmel Forest Kerem Carmel Forest—routes and information in this article: Get to know Kerem Carmel Forest Kerem Carmel Forest—routes Kerem Carmel Forest—attractions Get to know Kerem Carmel Forest: Not without reason did the "Green Mountain," that is, Mount Carmel, become a sought-after area for hiking and leisure in nature. Among the many routes, parking lots, and attractions is Kerem Carmel Forest, located in the south-eastern part of Carmel, offering walking tours and picnic spots. It has seasonal blooming, burial caves, a famous monastery, organized parking lots with accessible picnic tables placed by KKL, viewpoints and observation points. Kerem Carmel Forest covers the area between the Mukhraka Monastery, the town of Yoqne'am, and the Alikim interchange, on the south-eastern slopes of the mountain. Kerem Carmel Forest—Routes Cave Trail Hiking on a circular route of about 2.5 km, suitable for experienced hikers because of a short and steep incline at the end of the route. Setting out: From the parking lot, retrace your steps westward, along the road you arrived on, until you see a direction sign for the Cave Trail, marked in red. After about 100 m, you will reach a large open area carved in the rock. Here you will see six caves whose entrances are decorated with quarrying in the shape of an arch. These are the burial caves of Khurbat Harmesh, containing small halls with burial niches and platforms for placing corpses. According to one theory, the site served an affluent Jewish family from the end of the Roman period or the Byzantine period as a burial estate. Burial cave at Khurbat Harmesh | Photo: Guy Asiag / KKL Photo Archive. From the burial caves, continue with the winding trail between stone picnic tables, a cypress plot, and a plot of Aleppo pine trees. North of the burial trail you can see, in the months of November–December, the blooming of narcissus. The trail climbs into the thickness of the forest. In the winter months and spring you can see narcissus, cyclamen, and squill around you. Continue to a broad path marked in green and from there to the junction. Continue walking straight with the trail marked in red. You reach a dirt road; you climb through the steep forest until you reach a few wooden steps and two benches facing the view—Kerem Carmel Lookout (Mukhraka). After a viewpoint stop and rest, continue with the signage instructing you to the continuation of the Cave Trail. This time you descend through the forest until you reach additional burial caves, only some of whose openings are exposed. It is forbidden to enter these caves! From here the trail continues downhill to the dirt road, where you turn right until you reach a wooden post that turns left. The continuation will lead you among terraces, orchard trees, and waves of stones—the former village of al-Zarusi Umm- al-Zinat, meaning "mother of the beauties." This is a place to enjoy seasonal blooming: in autumn—Sternbergia, crocuses, and narcissus; at the beginning of winter—cyclamen and squill; and later, blooming of a variety of types of flowers and plants. Cyclamen and squill in Kerem Carmel Forest | Photo: Kalan Edar / KKL Photo Archive. A moment before you return to the start of the route, you will pass by an olive tree vineyard with a bench inviting you to stop and enjoy the view. At the beginning of the route or at its end, you can enjoy a picnic at the Sha'ar Carmel parking lot under conifer trees, beside picnic tables, some of which are accessible. The site also has restrooms, water taps, and an accessible trail. Start and end point: Khurbat Harmesh parking lot How do you get to the start point? From the Alikim interchange, drive north toward Route 672—Dalit al-Karmel. After about 600 m, turn right to the Sha'ar Carmel parking lot. Continue driving to the eastern end of the Sha'ar Carmel parking lot to a green-marked bedrock road, between the forest trees. After about 600 m, near the olive tree vineyard and "Tzabar" (cluster/cacti), turn right; and after about 130 m, turn left into a large open area with a KKL sign on it. Continue driving another ~100 m to the Khurbat Harmesh parking lot.

All the information about Ein Elroi at the beginning of the settlement's history, in the years 1936–1952: at first the spring served as a source of drinking water for the settlement and for irrigating the orchard; later, of course, it continued as well. Today the spring flows into an artificial pool that was dug in the 1960s on the initiative of Ze'ev Shorki, of the members of the Elroi moshav, and as noted on site, he was a family man who loved people, nature, and the land. Therefore some will call the place "Ze'ev Spring." In the past the pool was used as a storage pool for irrigating the nearby orchards. Around the spring you can find typical vegetation of the area and the springs, including: holy bramble (ptel kadosh), eastern plane (dolev mizrahi), silky poplar (tsefetsefa makhsifa), and an impressive and beautiful mulberry tree. From the spring, a 650-meter path leads south to the old train station in Elroi, where there is a lovely reconstruction of the Emek (Valley) Train Station of the Elroi settlement, along with exquisitely restored train cars. As of today, maintenance and renovation works are being carried out on site, but the area around the spring is accessible and still enjoyable. Between one dip and another, it is recommended to visit the Emek train restoration site adjacent to the spring. Next to the parking area, a small and delightful bicycle park was built, where riders train in technical control of their bicycles using "pumping" and generating momentum without the need for pedaling. Please keep the place clean! Looking for a tasty place to eat after your dip? Stop by the coffee cart "Atnachta" ("Interlude"), located within a short walking distance from Ein Elroi, offering a variety of fresh pastries, chilled drinks, sandwiches, and even cocktails!

All information about Nahal Naaman trail. The name of the stream comes from the Arabic name "An-Na'im," meaning "invitation." According to a local legend, when the Prophet Muhammad passed through the land, most streams refused to let him cross—and only Nahal Naaman invited him to continue on his way. In the past, enormous quantities of water flowed down the stream—about 5,000 cubic meters per hour—from the Ein Afek springs at the foot of Tel Afek, an area that was entirely swampy. Due to the gentle gradient and the short distance from the sea, the stream was forced to flow along a path three times longer than required. This created huge swamps around it—a habitat for Anopheles mosquitoes that carried malaria. To enable agriculture and prevent flooding, in the 1920s and 1930s the area began to be drained. The JNF (KKL) purchased the lands, and the first kibbutzim in the area—Kfar Massarik, Ein HaMifratz, and Afek—channeled the streams into canals and created faster flow. In 1942, the spring waters were even diverted for industrial use in the Haifa Bay, and the swamps became fields and fish ponds. Today, what remains of the swamps is protected by nature reserves—Ein Afek Reserve, Ein Ninfet Reserve, and Nahal Naaman—preserving the stream's flora and fauna. In recent years, and especially since 2007, the stream has been restored as part of a large-scale project by the JNF (KKL), the Authority for Western Galilee Stream (Rashut Nahal Galil HaMevush?), and additional bodies. The stream was deepened, enormous amounts of silt were removed from it, and old pollution hotspots were also treated, such as landfills. Paths, bridges, tables, and benches were built, and its surroundings became a green park suitable for walking, cycling, and a relaxed stroll beside flowing water. The water sources were also restored: drilled well water is pumped back into the Ein Afek reserve, and from there into the stream. To these are added water from fish ponds and agricultural drainage—so the stream is becoming a perennial stream again. Walking route along the stream: distance: about 1.3 km (each direction). Access points: south (via Kiryat Bialik) or north (near Kfar Massarik). Who it's suitable for: families, strollers, relaxed walking. The path is paved and accessible, including seating areas, shelters, and bridges. The walk starts from the south parking area, right next to the Road 22 bridge. A comfortable path leads through a large eucalyptus grove and a water channel (Channel 42), until the point where it meets Nahal Naaman. Here you'll find a small wooden bridge leading to an observation shelter, from which you can see the stream's rich vegetation—juncus (Gom'a), saw-like reed (Sof Misuy), and large reed (Shinit Gedola). Further along the trail you'll reach a metal observation shelter with explanatory signs. If you're lucky, you might see the soft turtle—the giant water turtle, which may weigh up to 50 kg. The Nature and Parks Authority will stock the stream with mature individuals, in the hope of establishing a new local population. In the stream you can also swim with the "Lebanon of Yarkon" (Lebanon fish)—a rare fish that is almost extinct and found only in coastal plain streams; tilapia (Amnon); and also enormous catfish that reach a length of one meter or more. Further along you'll reach a main bridge leading to the right bank. Here you'll find a large grove with picnic tables, plus an additional walking segment about 700 meters long. Among the prominent plants you'll see the European wolf's-bane (a white flower with a tall stem) and the pointed henbane (Hank Maḥudad), a poisonous but spectacular climber that specifically attracts the endangered Danaus (Sedom) butterfly. At the end of this section you'll reach another small bridge, a play facility, and two picnic tables. Further along you'll find the northern bridge, which is currently not passable. If and when the Ein Ninfet Trail is completed, it will be possible to continue from there northward to the nearby reserve.

All the information about the Great Crevice in Nahal Kalkal: you don't need air conditioning here, because it's cold all year. One of the most beautiful places on Mount Carmel. The Great Crevice (Tzanir = half a pipe) looks like a huge rock wave. Just lie down quietly, enjoy the chill and the view. One of the most successful places for drinking coffee. The path to the crevice takes about 20 minutes on foot, on an uncomplicated trail, but it's worth not making a mistake.

Yeshach Cave All information about Yeshach Cave: Between the familiar routes on the "Green Mountain," all year round, there is a less well-known route leading to Yeshach Cave. Park your car in the Nahal Oren parking lot (near Junction Kela 6) and set out on the route that starts near a locked iron gate, along with a marking of the Israel Trail and a marking of the Green Trail nearby. Continue walking on the trail according to the Israel Trail markings, which are also marked as a green trail, and walk westward. A walk of about one kilometer on the gentle trail will take you to a 400-meter cliff in which there is a group of caves—small and large. The large cave is called Yeshach Cave. This is a karst cave with a height of 4 m and a depth of about 12 m. In front of it there is an ancient structure with an arch of stones. It is recommended to bring a flashlight, which will allow you to carefully peek into the rooms inside the caves. On the way to Yeshach Cave, you will encounter spectacular viewpoints: in autumn—blooming sternbergia (autumn flowers), narcissus, and saffron crocus; in winter—cyclamen, and in spring—colorful blooms. If you are looking for a place worth stopping for a coffee break or an easy picnic, then the caves area is perfect for that. The route is not shaded and is not suitable for summer. Want to keep hiking? You can continue walking along the cliff and enjoy coolers and additional caves along the way, some of which serve bats as places to live.

All information about Sedea Stream: Six springs feed the stream between them—Ein Sedea, which is the spring with the largest flow. Ein Sedea issues from within a 80-meter-long conduit. Along the conduit there is a water pipe that draws water from the spring, water that was used for drinking by the residents of Haifa. Sedea Stream. Photo: Shir Yam. In practice, until the 1980s Sedea Stream was a main source of drinking water for the residents of Haifa. Note, do not enter the conduit! It is not stable. The source of the name is in the Arabic name of the spring, which is called 'Ayn al-Sa'da, meaning "springs of good fortune." Is it possible to enter the water? You can enter the water only at the point where Ein Sedea issues, and not along the stream. Unfortunately, later there is a drainage pipe that leads water of a lower quality; you can sometimes see it in action. The water is probably contaminated with sewage, and in the past there were also oils that were pumped from the area of the garages. The water is periodically tested by the Kishon Stream Authority. An urban haven of greenery in Haifa. Photo: Shir Yam. Along the length of the stream you can see a variety of plants, turtles, fish, and more. These days, volunteers are working on laying a circular hiking trail along the stream. The trail is marked with green arrows. Along the trail you will see signs with explanations about the wildlife and vegetation in the stream. Students from the Riali School in Haifa established several nice seating areas beside the stream. In recent years, Sedea Stream has made headlines in the context of an environmental NGO struggle to preserve the stream and stop the discharge of wastewater into it.

All the information about observing the Zipori Stream from Nofit is difficult to separate from this beautiful place. The view is swallowed up—after drinking coffee on the site—take a deep breath and spread out in front of the beauty. The place is especially popular with bicycle riders, who ride the routes along the Zipori Stream. It is one of the most beautiful places for observing the Zipori Stream, at the great bend—the bend that makes a huge loop around Givat Alil. One can see the northwestern part of the country. The site is located in the settlement of Nofit. There is a circumferential path around the settlement; this is a path in memory of Ohad Zach, a man from Nofit who was killed while performing his duty in 1998. Along the path there are several lookout points. There is a place to sit. Please respect the place. You can set out on a wonderful jeep trail in this area, of the "Valley of the Pomegranates."

A stream called Naḥal Nedar and Ein Kedem along the hiking route in the Naḥal Nedar streambed: on the way you will encounter the lovely spring of Ein Kedem. Of the three springs that well up from the side of the hill and the streambed—Ein Nedar, Ein Kanim, and Ein Kedem—the last is the only one that is plentiful all year long, and besides the spring itself, you can also see at the site the two basins from which it flows. Whether you reach the spring from the Telalim parking lot or from Atlit Castle, the path will be accompanied by a somewhat tangled and young woodland, like many of the routes in Mount Carmel. Down the Naḥal Nedar you can also see the remains of water channels (aqueducts), which the residents used to irrigate their olive groves by the stream's outflow into Naḥal Galim. The hike on this route is not circular, and it can be reached from Naḥal Galim, from Atlit Castle, or from the parking lot area of the Haifa University and the Telalim parking lot. Two recommended options are before you: a short linear route of 4.5 kilometers downhill along Naḥal Nedar from the parking lot of the Telalim parking area to Atlit Castle. From the starting point, you should set out with the Black Trail marking that is right next to the entrance to the parking area (when entering the parking lot, turn right; then you will notice the wooden sign and the marking—see the photo). A long linear route of 9 kilometers that includes walking in Naḥal Lakh and Naḥal Galim. The route starts at the Damon junction (parking point 1) and ends at the Telalim parking lot (parking point 2) after an ascent in Naḥal Nedar and a visit to the spring (this route also requires two vehicles) | For the full route in Naḥal Lakh and Naḥal Galim " Walking in the water tunnels of Ein Kedem with the help of a flashlight, you can enter into two basins: the right one is the simpler tunnel; the water there usually reaches a height that is between knee level and the level of the pelvis, and after walking about 15 meters inside, you reach a point where the water bursts out of the rock. It seems that this tunnel was carved during the Roman period, and was used to increase the spring's flow. Near the black trail leading to the spring, you can also see the remains of a water channel that at the time conveyed the water toward Atlit Castle. The entrance to the second basin is a bit more complicated—the second tunnel is blocked by a concrete wall that allows pumping the spring water with a large pipe. In the wall there is a small window through which you can squeeze into the tunnel, where the water is deeper and your whole body gets wet. It is longer and is highly recommended for adventurers. If you chose to visit this tunnel, pay attention to the many concretions in its ceiling, which are a remnant of a sea that was once here and created the limestone rock into which the spring is carved.

The museum presents permanent and rotating displays drawn from its older and rich museum collection, alongside group exhibitions dealing with contemporary culture. This is the largest museum in the northern region, and it focuses on modern and contemporary art from Israel and the world. The museum is among the three largest art museums in Israel. The museum's collection and its location are the point of influence that gives it its own unique artistic statement. Alongside excellence and uncompromising standards, the Haifa Museum of Art has created an intriguing "Haifa line" that distinguishes it. Local contexts are harnessed for dialogue with artists beyond the sea. In recent years, prominent international artists—such as Douglas Gordon, Rhina Josey Gallindo, Damien Hirst, and Adrian Paci—have presented exhibitions that examined points of contact between local and global issues.

All the information about the Haifa City Museum: Join a fascinating journey at the Haifa City Museum! Come and discover the past of the historic city and the vibrant present in a museum that presents a variety of rotating and permanent exhibitions dealing with topics such as: urban life, identity, multi-nationality, inter-culturality, and more.

Exhibitions currently presented: Mike Brant – To the ends of the body: a unique and rare exhibition following the story of the life of the famous singer Mike Brant (Moshe Brand), born in Haifa. The moving exhibition is built around Zvika Brant's personal archive—Mike's younger brother—and presents a collection including thousands of collectible items, items of clothing from the star's personal wardrobe, rare photos, notes written by Mike by hand, and more. Haifa Tachtit – Gil Bar: the exhibition is built from a collection of photographs focusing on abandoned and destroyed buildings and comparing them to a type of monuments in the urban landscape. The buildings tell a complex story about the forces that shaped the city's unique character, and also raise questions about its politics, its history, and the future of the city of Haifa. Between the Mountain and the Sea – the permanent exhibition: in the exhibition, the story of the city of Haifa is told through three main periods in its history: during the Ottoman period, in the days of the British Mandate, and after the establishment of the State of Israel—as a prelude to the formation of modern Haifa. The exhibition emphasizes the pluralistic nature of settlement in the area, as it was composed of people of different nationalities from distant lands, people of different religions and diverse communities that created a foundation for establishing the modern cosmopolitan city. You are invited to keep updated with additional exhibitions and events on the museum's website
