Touring

There are many walking and hiking trails close to the hotel, for walking and cycling, including Nahal Perod, Biriya Forest, the summit path on Mt. Meron, the Nahal Amud Reserve. Amirey Hagalil is surrounded not only by magnificent nature, but is also home to a variety of archaeological sites, tombs of the Righteous and ancient cities brimming with local history and art, such as Zefat, Peki'in and Rosh Pina.

Nahal Amood
(10 minute drive from hotel)

Nahal Amud twists and turns for more than 20 km between forested Galilee mountains, through orchards, remnants of earlier settlements and fresh water springs, until it reaches the Sea of Galilee. The reserve offers a number of hiking paths at various levels of difficulty, but all include lots of water and are recommended during every season of the year. The path is winding and perfect for families.

Nahal Zalmon
(15 minute drive from hotel)

Nahal Zalmon flows near the imaginary border between the Upper and Lower Galilees, and is lush with water plants, forest trees and fruit orchards, as well as 14 flour mills, most of them merely archaeological remains. The Nahal is fed by several springs and although the flow is not that strong (most of the water is pumped away for drinking water), you can splash around in the water at a number of places along the way. The stream is pleasant, calm and easy, although not twisting, especially if you choose the short route (there and back is 3 km); and you can continue on to where the stream spills into the Sea of Galilee (another 17 km).

Meron mountain Summit Path

The path begins in the 'Har Meron' Reserve, a large forest reserve and home to a rich variety of Mediterranean flora. The path is winding, beautiful, short and easy to walk, passing around the Har Meron summit (1,208 m) and enabling an extensive view of Upper Galilee mountains and Lebanon, the Golan and the Hermon, and even a bit of the coast and part of the Lower Galilee. The Summit path is beautiful all year, with an abundance of flowers that change from season to season, including several types of orchids.

Nahal Rosh Pina
(25 minute drive from hotel)

Nahal Rosh Pina begins in Zefat, continuing steeply down into Rosh Pina and finally joining the mountainous Jordan River. Parts of the path are a bit rugged, enabling an extensive view of the Hula Valley and Rosh Pina, in full, verdant glory, including water and plants, vineyards, orchards, all fed from three springs, Ein Guy Oni, Ein Pina and Ein Kadan. The path is easy to walk, but includes a steep downhill. It's fairly straight, beginning in Zefat and ending in Rosh Pina, but you can also hike just the lower portion (there and back).

Bicycle paths in 'Merom Hagalil'

The bicycle paths in Merom Hagalil pass through forests and agricultural fields, and have been approved and run by KKL, assisted by the Office of Tourism, Merom Hagalil Regional Council, local council Gush Halav and Preservation of Nature authorities, and have been constructed at various levels of riding difficulty.
