Ayin El Kef – Ayin El Kuf

All the information about Ayin El Kef – Ayin El Kuf, updated as of 2.8.18: The spring is dry. If someone wants, it is possible to climb another 20 meters up the terraces and see the actual outflow. The area is lovely and quiet, and usually there are no people. Distance from the car: 5 minutes. Trails map number 9. The spectacular Kuf (Ham-'Mekof') is a spring that was renovated in 2004 by Yoni Golan, a graduate of tours-for-the-public courses. The discovery of the spring, as I learned, is part of a serious investigative work that Yoni's father, Dani Golan, did about the village of Khirbat al-Luz, which existed there until the summer of 1948 on the opposite Mount Eitan. Over the years, the small spring above Nahal Shorek disappeared from view and from the maps, but now it is likely to return to them. Dani Golan also wrote a blog describing his research about Khirbat al-Luz and Mount Eitan in general | To Dani Golan's blog >> A viewpoint on the other side of the stream revealed the complete complex of oxidation ponds in Nahal Shorek.
