Seasonal excursion "Migratory birds of the Hula Valley".

Hula Nature Reserve is a unique wildlife area, home to many animals, birds, and fish. Hula is a stopping place for migratory birds. Here you can see storks, pelicans,  cormorants, sea eagles, herons, cranes - more than 200 species of birds in total.

The final stage of the trip will be a tasting of the winery's liqueurs at Kibbutz Amiad.

Kibbutz Amiad is a fruit grower and has a small winery that makes a variety of liqueurs from everything except grapes. Here you can taste many different delicious "tinctures": black currant, raspberry, cherry, milk, chocolate, and even condensed milk. In the company store, you can buy your favorite liqueur for yourself or a gift. 

Mezad Ateret
In literature, the fortress is known as Le Chastellet (fr. Small castle).
The Hebrew name Metsad Ateret (מצד עתרת) - "fortress of abundance" - is, apparently, a distortion of the Arabic Qasr al-Atra, meaning something like "fortress of defeat".
Unlike many other former Crusader fortifications, the ruins remained largely intact.

Attractions

Hula Valley

Hula Valley

This place is named after the lake that occupies the heart of the valley. In ancient times, during the Talmudic era, it was considered a sea, one of the seven that wash the Holy Land.

The northern part of the Hula Valley is punctuated by three waterways. Here flow the tributaries of the Jordan: the Snir, the Banias and the Dan, which later join their beds.

There are many swampy areas in the valley. They were created because of the large amount of water and the separation of this place from the surrounding area. Volcanic activity has created an isolated pool here.

Долина Хула, ферма форели, вкуснейший кофе на оливковой маслобойне, там же купленные вкуснейшие и полезнейшие травяные чаи, приятное общение с людьми - всё это даёт драгоценные воспоминания

Thank you for the excursion, the nature is magnificent, I really enjoyed it. Israel never ceases to amaze with its beauty and diversity of nature. Hula Valley, a trout farm, delicious coffee at the olive oil mill, delicious and healthy herbal teas bought there, pleasant communication with people - all this gives precious memories
