Alon HaGalil

Alon HaGalil is a community settlement in the Jezreel Valley in northern Israel, situated in hilly terrain with olive groves, grain fields, and scattered Mediterranean vegetation. The settlement consists of private homes with gardens spread across the land, interspersed with community buildings, agricultural areas, and patches of woodland.

The settlement was founded in 1980 and began as a moshav, a type of agricultural cooperative in Israel. In 1986 it transitioned to a community settlement allowing greater private enterprise, while remaining part of the regional moshavim movement.

The name refers to oak trees scattered across the landscape, symbolizing the community's connection to the natural surroundings. Visitors can experience this bond in how the settlement integrates into the rolling terrain of the region.

The village sits at about 200 meters elevation and is reachable by car from surrounding towns like Nazareth, HaSolelim, and Timrat. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit when weather is mild and agricultural activity is most visible.

The settlement sits in a region known for its spring blooms when wildflowers blanket the hills in color. This makes the area a quiet surprise for nature lovers wanting to avoid more famous tourist destinations in northern Israel.
