Park Adamit, Nature reserve and park in Northern District, Israel
Park Adamit is a nature reserve and park in the Upper Galilee with a scenic one-way road that loops around the archaeological site of Khirbet Idmit. The route connects several viewpoints and allows visitors to explore the rolling terrain and geological features of the region.
Khirbet Idmit, at the centre of the park, has yielded pottery shards showing settlement from the Middle Bronze Age to the Ottoman period. Remains of buildings from the Arab village of Idmit, which stood here, are still visible. The site lies between Nahal Namir to the north and west and Nahal Betzet to the south.
The park's paths and lookouts are named after local figures: the Amir Trail honours Lt. Col. Amir Mei-Tal, killed in Operation Blue and Brown in Lebanon in 1988, and the Oren Lookout commemorates air force pilot Nir Shomroni. Near the southern parking area stand memorial columns for Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev.
Access is from Route 8993, about one kilometre west of the entrance to Kibbutz Adamit; a one-way asphalt road circles the park. Parking areas include Haniyonof in the south and the Mitzpor HaOren lot by the ruins. A paved path suitable for wheelchairs winds from Haniyonof to Me'arat HaKeshet.
The lookout is named after Lt. Col. Amir Mei-Tal, commander of the Barak Battalion of the Golani Brigade, killed in Operation Blue and Brown in Lebanon in 1988. The marked Amir Trail leaves from Haniyonof in the south of the park and reaches the lookout 150 metres above Nahal Betzet, continuing to Me'arat HaKeshet.
