ESRA Hike

This is our first hike of the 2021-22 season!

This region is full of breathtaking landscapes and gushing springs. We start the hike at the entrance of the valley leading to Ein Moda and Ein Shokek.
We then follow a hidden trail to Nahal HaKibutzim were we will be able to swim in the springs.
Then, we follow the trail to Ein Migdal (tower spring), which perpetuates Tal Amal's memory now Kibbutz Nir David. This was the first tower and stockade set up in 1936.

Following the trail through the Nahal which follows through to the Jezreel Valley.
