Ein Ozi

All the information about Ein Ozi: you will find the Ein Ozi spring between the settlements of Orah and Amindav. Here you will find cool water all year round, shaded spots around the spring, and a mountainous view of the Jerusalem Hills and the nearby settlements. At Ein Ozi, you will actually find two female springs (seepage springs), one of which flows all year. Both springs flow into storage pools, and carved channels carry the water to irrigation plots (fields). You can soak your feet—and even your entire body on a hot day—in a lovely pool. A spot worth a coffee—there's no doubt this is an excellent place for refreshment during a summer day hike, and all year round. This is the place to open your coffee kit (pack), prepare it exactly the way you like, and enjoy the view that surrounds you. Just don't forget to leave it clean after you. Over the years, vegetation along the streambanks has developed at the site: reeds (cane), bulrush, raspberry, and horseweed. The source of the place's Hebrew name is in its Arabic name—"Ain Abu-'Gha'zi." Swimming/wading in the cool waters of Ein Ozi | Photo: Yuḥai Korman
