We will go up road 70 to the north and turn right to road 8911 towards Abdon. After a small bridge, we will turn right onto a dirt road that will bring us to the entrance to the reserve. Don’t be scared by a lot of cars, sometimes it just looks busy and actually inside you will find nice corners to sit in.
Ein Hardalit is one of the springs that feed Nahal Kaziv. A large part of the spring water is pumped to provide drinking water to the residents of the area, but some of it is returned to the stream channel, thus preserving its natural habitat. The area where the clear water flows has become a real paradise for travelers. It has plane trees that provide wide shade, fig trees that bear fruit, impressive cliffs that rise above, and some wonderful and peaceful wading pools. The recommended and deepest pool is at the point where the water bursts out of the pipe that returns it to nature, and you should go far and reach it. The route is an addition to the 365 springs travel book series, a spring for every day.

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.
Inside what was once the first Culture House of Kibbutz Cabri, is Adelina restaurant with its cozy rustic-European style and large patio overlooking banana plantations seemingly floating in the distance. Chef Rushdi Daquar and his skilled staff, serve a diverse menu combining flavors and ingredients from 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.
The name Buza means ice cream in Arabic, a delicious ice cream that everyone loves. Buza’s roots are planted deep in the Galilee – with love for the raw materials, flavors, smells – this is the foundation of our ice cream, which is made daily from the best and freshest raw ingredients. Buza was born as an Arab-Jewish collaboration – between Adam from Kibbutz Sasa and Alaa from Tarshiha.
We hope you had fun!
