Unsure whether to hike or swim? Why not do both? 😊
One of my favorite hikes, suitable for every age and for most times of the year is the nature reserve Majrase, located on the northern part of the Sea of Galilee. Stay cool while hiking with its refreshing wet circuit “water hike.”
In places, the nature reserve resembles an African jungle or European countryside with lagoons, thick vegetation and abundant birdlife.
Want to know which route to take? How wet will you get? And more...
Dont hesitate to contact me.

Nahal Zippori (Sepphoris creek) is an easy hike to be enjoyed year round with flowing water. The flow of water made the construction of flour mills possible. One that still stands today is the Carmelite monks flour mill.
A perfect ending to your hike is a refreshing dip in Ein Yevka also known as the Horses spring. The shallow pool's wall contain ruins from Roman times.
Want to know how to get to the pool with your car? How long the hike is? And more?

Where does the Liberty Bell stand tall? If you answered Philadelphia you're right! But did you know in Israel we have our own Liberty bell?
Liberty Bell Park (Gan Pa'amon HaDror) is a park in Jerusalem containing a replica of the Liberty Bell from which it gets its name.
Founded in 1976 to celebrate the USA's bicentennial.
So grab a picnic basket and enjoy the wonderful park full of things to do for all ages.
Do you want to know more homages to the United States that are in Israel?
I'm here to answer.

2020 was a difficult year for us all, for tourism and for tour guides in particular. As we go into our third lockdown I would like to offer a variety of virtual tours tailored to your needs.
If you have connections to Synagogues, Churches or companies that may be interested in offering something costumed to them, I would truly appreciate you helping me make those connections.
Help me share my love for this land.
It is my passion and I would love to be able to continue to do it, even if virtually.

Marvelous hike, reviving water and unique geological formation: The Hexagon (Meshushim) pool sits in the Yehudia Nature Reserve in the central Golan Heights.
The pool is named after the shape of the hexagonal basalt columns that make up its walls.
Spectacular views await while you head down into the gorge overlooking the pool. The cold and refreshing water is remarkable on a hot summer day.
Want to know more about how this geological phenomenon created? When is the best time to avoid masses of hikers? I can help with all of that!
Have fun and keep nature safe

Imagine this: knights, damsels in distress and even dragons
Welcome to the magnificent Montfort (the "strong mountain") castle inside Nahal Kziv nature reserve.
Prepare your feet and start your climb. Gorgeous panoramic views await.
This spur castle was the headquarters of the Crusader Teutonic Order. After a siege by Mamluks and negotiations, the German Knights were allowed to leave the castle with all of their belongings and return to Acre in 1291, which after the castle was demolished.
Want to know more about Monfort and the Crusaders tales in the Western Galilee?
Contact me for inquiries.
Enjoy and keep nature safe!

When was the last time you hiked in a stream full of water?
Nahal Kziv (lit. "Kziv Stream") is the longest perennial stream in the Western Galilee. It is a magnificent and protected nature reserve.
The trail is great fun for the whole family, giving us a variety of hikes to explore the beauty of nature.
The water flows gently, the forest around is gorgeous, and springs along the hike will rejuvenate your soul.
If that is not enough you can add the 12th-century Crusader castle, Montfort,
the old headquarters of the Teutonic Order in the Holy Land.
(More information about that in my next post)
Have fun and keep nature safe😊
