Cast Your Vote & Step Outdoors to Catch Your Breath
Celebrating the First Anniversary of the New Tzalmon River with Tour Guide Karmit Arbel
Lower Tzalmon River

Have you voted? Have you made your voice heard? Now it’s time to make the most of the national day off and step out for some fresh air!
The upcoming election day offers the perfect opportunity to combine civic duty with an exciting, unique nature experience — making the most of the holiday in the most refreshing way possible! In late October, as autumn fills the air with cool, pleasant weather, we are setting out on a special tour of the Lower Tzalmon River — a place where an environmental and historical marvel is unfolding right before our eyes. It was exactly one year ago this October that a brand-new stream was “born” here in the Galilee; thanks to the “Reverse National Water Carrier” project, it has been flowing continuously ever since. This is a groundbreaking global precedent — the first place in the world to implement technology that channels desalinated seawater back into a stream bed to revitalize it and restore its ecosystem! The past year has demonstrated nature’s remarkable ability to recover quickly. Now is a fantastic opportunity to visit and see for yourself how the steady, continuous flow of water has completely transformed the landscape — bringing life and greenery back to a once-dry riverbed and turning it into a bustling oasis surrounded by clear, inviting wading pools.
So, after casting your vote and leaving the news cycle behind, lace up your hiking boots and head out to celebrate autumn. Marvel at the harmony between progress and nature, and enjoy a magical fall hike — a wonderful season opener at a location simply not to be missed!
After a vehicle shuttle, we will embark on a scenic, linear trail approximately 6.5 kilometers long — perfect for hikers, with a difficulty level ranging from easy to moderate.
For those interested: after the hike, we will tour Kibbutz Ginosar to view the spectacular sculptures by artist Yuval Lufan.
Price: 90 NIS per person (includes tour and guided tour)
