Just outside Jerusalem, Mitzpe Naftoah offers a peaceful window into spring migration.
In this open pine forest and scrubland, migratory birds stop to rest, while raptors circle above on the wind. On this gentle walk led by the English Bird Club, we’ll look for seasonal visitors and learn how these landscapes support life on the move.

No experience needed. All are welcome.
This 2 km walk is on mostly good paths, with some uneven terrain. Guided in English.

What to bring: Water, sun protection, comfortable walking shoes. Binoculars, if you have them.
