Ein Hemed, National park and archaeological site in Jerusalem District, Israel
Ein Hemed features limestone terraces, water channels, and pools along the Kisalon Stream, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and dense pine forests.
The Crusader fortress within Ein Hemed, built during the 12th century, served as a strategic outpost controlling the road between Jaffa and Jerusalem.
The park displays ancient agricultural methods through preserved irrigation systems, stone walls, and water collection structures from different historical periods.
The site includes numerous picnic tables, walking trails, restroom facilities, drinking fountains, and designated areas for outdoor cooking and camping.
The park operates a closed water system that collects spring water from Kisalon Stream and recirculates it back to its starting point.
