Hi,
We were looking for a short hike and somewhere to sit down in. We were 3 families and two of them with babies younger than half a year, so the hike had to be even shorter than short – the chosen place: Ein Tzur spring in Ramat Ha-Nadiv,
Although the spring inside Ramat Ha-Nadiv, the shortest way is to enter from the parking lot of Ort Byniamina high school. Where there is a unused Dabur-class patrol boat standing probably as a memorial.
We enjoyed the short walk, the open space which allowed enough distance between families, kids’ pool, a spring tunnel and cold breeze on this ho summer day.
Take Care

The sign on the entrance to the route, explaining this is part of Ramat Ha-Nadiv Park, and the sign of Israel National trail going through the spring.

Upper up, it really looks like a small stream
A small fountain below the pool from the British Mandate time
The pool, from the British Mandate time, was meant to hold the water for the above Beit Khouri
