The Israel Nature and Parks Authority reports that approximately 120,000 hikers and visitors came to nature reserves and national parks across the country today (Monday), the first day of Passover’s intermediate days.<\/p>\n

The most popular sites<\/strong>
\nAmong the most visited sites were: Hermon Stream Nature Reserve (Banias), Ein Afek, Gan HaShlosha (Sakhne), Caesarea National Park, Tel Afek, Beit Guvrin, and Ein Gedi.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of the day was the reopening of the \u201cOverturned Syrian Tank Trail\u201d in the Hermon Stream Nature Reserve, which had been closed for a year and a half. The trail was reopened this morning for the first time since the war and was met with high demand from hikers enjoying the pleasant weather in the north and across the country.<\/p>\n

A wealth of special activities for the whole family<\/strong>
\nThroughout the holiday, the Nature and Parks Authority is offering a wide array of special family-friendly activities, including: a butterfly celebration at Ein Afek, the Masada Challenge, a medieval knights event at Apollonia, guided tours at Einot Tzukim, and the \u201cBreathing Culture\u201d series of cultural events, now in its tenth year in cooperation with Mifal HaPais.<\/p>\n

In addition to the activities, dozens of information stations have been set up around the country near popular hiking trails, offering the public guidance, tips, and safety instructions to help ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. The authority encourages visitors to register in advance for activities through its website and to check for updates and details there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
