Park Hazahav

Located at the western edge of Hula Valley, Park Hazahav spans 110,000 square meters with natural paths along Ein Zahav stream and dense vegetation.

The site transformed from agricultural terrain to an urban park after Kiryat Shmona's establishment in 1950, with the stream's water initially redirected for residential use.

A converted mosque within the park functions as a museum showcasing Kiryat Shmona's heritage, documenting the immigration waves and settlement development.

The park features wooden bridges crossing the stream, designated picnic zones, information signs about local flora and fauna, and multiple access points for visitors.

Taxodium trees, rare in Israeli landscaping, form a distinctive grove near the water pools, creating an ecological environment similar to Banias Nature Reserve.
