Ein Hardalit is one of the springs that feed Nahal Kziv
A large portion of the spring’s water is pumped to supply drinking water to the residents of the area, but some of it is returned to the stream channel, helping preserve its natural living environment. The area where the clear water flows has become a true paradise for hikers. It features giant plane trees that provide wide shade, fig trees that bear fruit, impressive cliffs rising above, and several wonderful, peaceful wading pools.
The recommended and deepest pool is located at the point where the water bursts out of the pipe that returns it to nature, and it is worth continuing all the way to reach it

Ein Hardalit is one of the springs that feed the Kziv River. Much of the spring water is pumped to provide drinking water for the area’s residents, but some is returned to the river’s channel, thus preserving its natural habitat. The area where the clear water flows has become a true paradise for hikers. It has giant plane trees that provide ample shade, fig trees that bear fruit, impressive cliffs that tower above, and several wonderful and peaceful wading pools. The recommended and deepest pool is located at the point where the water bursts out of the pipe that returns it to nature, and it is worth going far and reaching it.
Location: Ein Hardalit Reserve/Ein Hardalit Parking Lot
Note: It is important to check with the Nature Reserve Authority whether the place is open to visitors before arriving
After the visit to Ein Hardalit, we will go back to the road and turn left to the 70 road.
We will turn left again to Kibbutz Cabri and immediately after the gate turn left again towards our excellent lunch at the Adelina restaurant.
In the building that was the first “cultural house” of Kibbutz Cabri, there is the Adelina restaurant, with a warm and cozy rustic-European design and a large patio-terrace facing a sea of banana plantations that seem to float in space. Chef Roshdi Dakwar and his skilled team serve a successful menu that combines the flavors and ingredients of the Galilee with Spanish-Catalan cuisine.
Need a little something sweet to finish? Buza ice cream is the answer! Turn left at the Cabri intersection towards Tarshiha and enjoy the heavenly flavors of Buza ice cream.
Buza (“ice cream” in Arabic) is an Arab-Jewish collaboration between Adam from Kibbutz Sasa and Alaa from Tarshiha. Buza’s roots are deeply entwined in the Galilee ― in a love for raw materials, flavors, and aromas. This is the basis for the unique ice cream, which is made daily with meticulous handwork and from the freshest and finest raw materials.
We hope you had fun!
