A decade after being destroyed: The stunning waterfall trail in the north reopens

The Nahal Iyon trail in the north, which collapsed a decade ago in a flood, has reopened to hikers after complex rehabilitation. The circular route offers new viewpoints of the Tanur Waterfall and the Hula Valley, and visitors can choose between three trails of different lengths.

A decade after collapsing in a powerful flood, the Nahal Iyon trail in the northern nature reserve has reopened to hikers. The Israel Nature and Parks Authority completed complex rehabilitation works, and now a circular route offers new viewpoints of the Tanur Waterfall and the Hula Valley. Visitors can choose between three trails: the long one (about 2.5 km) passing along the reserve and including four waterfalls; the medium one (about 1.5 km) in a circular route with about 90 steps, suitable for families but not for wheelchairs; and the short one (400 meters) accessible to the Tanur Waterfall parking lot. Naji Rashash, the reserve manager, said: "The result is a safe and simply amazing trail." The reserve reopened after a long period of closure due to the war.
