Alexander, River and national park at Sharon Plain, Israel
The Alexander River extends 45 kilometers from the Samarian Mountains to the Mediterranean Sea, crossing through agricultural lands and natural reserves.
In 1991, severe flooding caused the displacement of numerous soft-shelled turtles into the Mediterranean Sea, prompting conservation efforts by the Israel Nature Authority.
The river banks contain archaeological remains, including the ancient Turtle Bridge Hurvat Samra site, which served as a customs station for river trade.
The 3.8-kilometer hiking trail starts at Gesher Hatzabim Bridge and leads to Beit Yannai Beach, featuring several observation points and rest areas.
The river houses a population of giant soft-shelled turtles measuring up to 1.20 meters in length and weighing up to 50 kilograms.
