There are several suitable trails. Select the “Accessibility” filter here to find them (in Hebrew). Note that some are in the process of receiving accessibility certification.

 No need to schedule in advance. The stream is an open area and not a closed national park, so it is open all year round.

Weekends, holidays, and the spring season are usually the busiest times. It’s recommended to check for events and guided tours taking place throughout the year here (in Hebrew).

There are several stream entrances with organized parking that includes disabled parking (except the parking near Ein Yivka). See the locations on the interactive map.

You can reach nearby towns by bus and walk to the stream from there. For example: Ras Ali, Alon HaGalil, or the HaMovil Junction from which you can continue into the Yiftah-El Brook.

There are many benches and stone seats in various locations along the stream trail and in the surrounding forests, some shaded. More seating will be added in the future.

Yes, dogs are welcome! However, since many people visit the stream and there are also animals belonging to local residents, it’s important to keep dogs on a leash.

You may go into the water only at Ein Yivka (Horse Spring). Please remember that entering the water is at your own risk, and there are no lifeguard services.

There are currently no public restrooms along the stream. If you go in nature, please take your toilet paper with you! During major events, portable toilets are placed at central points.

Yes, you can bike along the stream trail, on dirt roads and singletracks in the surrounding forests. On the stream trail, give right of way to pedestrians and ride cautiously.

Walking along the stream trail, which is paved with concrete, is very easy and comfortable. However, there’s no fence between the trail and the stream, so watch small children carefully, also due to bicycle traffic.

No. Since this is an open area, most of the stream trail is exposed to sun, so it is advisable to bring a hat and enough water. In general, trails within the forest are more shaded.

At the entrances to Einot Zippori, Ras Ali, and near the Monks’ Mill there are water fountains. Be sure to carry enough water for the trail!

Along the stream, you can find quiet seating areas, some shaded, as the ones at the confluence, and some have accessible benches, such as between Einot Zippori and the Solelim trailhead.

At each trailhead, there are signposts with symbols indicating which trail is accessible and whether it is circular or round-trip.

Some trails are undergoing accessibility adjustments (e.g., steep slopes and lack of handrails). Since it’s an open area, responsibility lies with the visitors. It is recommended to contact in advance to confirm the current state.

 Seating areas along the stream trail are marked with a permanent tactile marker. In the section that crosses the stream between Ras Ali and the Monks’ Mill on the accessible trail, there is a guiding handrail.
