Nahal Ayun, Nature reserve in northern Israel.
Nahal Ayun is a mountain stream in northern Israel that cascades down through a nature reserve in a series of waterfall drops. The water flows through a canyon lined with dense vegetation and rocky terrain.
The stream took on its current form after the drainage of the Hula wetland region in the mid-20th century. Since then, the water system has been modified for irrigation needs.
The stream carries both Hebrew and Arabic names, with its Arabic designation 'Bareighit' translating to 'river of fleas' in local terminology.
Visiting works best during months with adequate water flow, though swimming pools and trails can become slippery after rain. Sturdy footwear and swimwear are practical for exploring the pools and waterfalls.
During dry summer months, water from Dan River boreholes is channeled into the stream to maintain flow for visitors. This practice allows swimmers and waterfall explorers to enjoy the reserve even in the hottest season.
