A Refreshing Water Hike

Ein Hardalit – The Kziv River Reserve
  • Unrestricted Parking

Ein Hardalit is one of the springs that feeds the Kziv River. A large part of the spring water is pumped to provide drinking water to the residents of the area, but some are returned to the riverbed, thus preserving its natural habitat.

The area where the clear water flows has become a real paradise for travelers. It has huge plane trees that give wide shade, fig trees that produce fruit, impressive cliffs that rise above, and some wonderful, peaceful wading pools. The most recommended and deepest pool is at the point where the water bursts out of the pipe that brings it back to nature. The route is an addition to the series of travel books 365 Springs: A Spring for Every Day.
