How to get there? Drive on Road 85 towards Kiryat Shmona. At the Karmiel junction, turn left towards Tefen/Ma’alot. After the Levon Junction, there is a left turn towards Yarka to road 8544. After about 1 km there is a right turn to Yarka, about 10 meters after the turn on the right side there is a crossing for cows.
The Tefen Fortress is the northern citadel from around 2100 years ago. Many remains can be identified including towers, a water reservoir, and many pottery. From the western tower, there is a view towards the north of the Tefen industrial area, Nahal Beit HaEmek, Gita Lapidot, and more…
Climbing the citadel is not easy and takes about 20 minutes.
Right next door you will find Kishor Winery and Stern Winery. What’s better than sitting in one of the wineries and enjoying a meal and a glass of wine after (or before) the trip?! (By appointment only!)
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
