פארק המעיינות, Nature reserve in Beth Shean Valley, Israel.
A springs park in the Beth Shean Valley, it features natural water sources, flowing streams, and native plants throughout its grounds. The landscape sits along the Syrian-African rift valley and contains various water habitats with diverse vegetation zones.
Archaeological findings within the park show traces of human settlement from ancient times in this region. These discoveries indicate that people have inhabited this area for thousands of years.
The park serves as a crucial stopover for thousands of birds migrating between Europe, Asia, and Africa during autumn and winter months. Visitors can watch these travelers rest and feed along the water sources during their long journeys.
Several walking trails link different sections of the park and suit visitors with varying levels of fitness. Wear comfortable shoes and stay aware of water edges and vegetation areas when moving through the grounds.
The natural springs create several pools where black storks and kingfishers gather during their migrations. These rare bird species use the calm waters to fish and rest during their long journeys.
