שמורת גאון הירדן

The Jordan Valley Nature Reserve encompasses five separate protected areas along the Jordan River, featuring dense forests and diverse wetland ecosystems.

The establishment of the reserve began in December 1969 with Ein Jinda, followed by Maoz Haim in 1970 and Kfar Rupin in 1972.

The reserve represents the conservation efforts of multiple kibbutzim communities, who maintain their agricultural practices while protecting natural habitats.

Visitors can explore multiple hiking trails connecting the five sections: Hamadia, Tirat Zvi, Kfar Rupin, Maoz Haim, and Ein Jinda reserves.

The reserve provides critical habitat for various predators including wildcats, caracals, marsh cats, and wolves that coexist near agricultural settlements.
