It was March, last year. We met some friends and drove up north to the Haifa area. The weather forecast said chilly with a chance of rain.
Our first stop was the Hai-Bar Carmel Nature Reserve, situated on the Carmel Mountain overlooking the Haifa area.
It's not a huge reserve, but you could easily spend a good few hours there and there's plenty of room for the kids to move about.
Walk along the path to see a wide range of plants, bushes, and also some wildlife.
There is also a short movie which explains about the goals of the reserve.
From there we continued north towards Kiryat Bialik. By the time we got there, the weather had cleared up a bit. There we found the En Afek Nature Reserve.
We sat there for a picnic lunch and then wandered around near the small lake (their site calls it a swamp, I didn't really want to use that word). There are a few paths to take. Some longer than others, but all walking distance and easy.
There's also an old flour mill where you can climb up to its roof and get a view of the area.
