Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) reopened the Hula Valley nature reserve to the public on Dec. 22 after a period of closure due to the wartime security situation. Spanning approximately 6,000 dunams (1,500 acres) of ecological habitat, the valley is one of Israel’s natural treasures and a key stopover point along the international bird migration route.
Before the war, the valley hosted 400,000 visitors annually, offering the opportunity to observe around 500 bird species recorded at the site.
Each year between November and March, tens of thousands of gray cranes offer a natural display of large flocks flying, feeding and gliding over the water. Alongside a diversity of wildlife and migratory birds, they have made the Hula Valley a key birdwatching site that draws travelers, nature photographers and bird enthusiasts from Israel and abroad. As part of the reopening, guests can enjoy the newly renovated visitor center, which features a panoramic rooftop observation deck and an innovative VR experience. (Read More)
