With election day declared a holiday, the Jewish National Fund (JNF) is recommending five accessible natural sites across Israel for family outings. These locations, ranging from the Galilee to the Negev, offer opportunities for picnics, short walks, and enjoying the outdoors without cost.
In the Lower Galilee, Beit Keshet Forest provides expansive views of the Jezreel Valley and Nazareth hills. It features scenic routes leading to observation points and picnic areas, suitable for short hikes tailored to families with children.
Near Safed, the 560-duname (138-acre) Tzelet Valley Park offers a gentle circular trail alongside streams, wooden bridges, and small pools, with views towards Mount Meron. Barbecues and open fires are prohibited in this park.
Adulam-France Park in the Judean foothills combines Mediterranean shrubland with historical sites, including the ruins of Atar and Maderas, allowing visitors to explore both nature and ancient history.
Yetir Forest, one of Israel's largest, is situated at the southern edge of the Hebron mountains. The JNF has developed its landscape with roads, trails, archaeological sites, and picnic spots, making it suitable for several hours or a full day's visit.
For those in the south, Golda Park near Kibbutz Revivim offers lawns, picnic areas, and viewpoints within a 540-duname (133-acre) area along the Revivim stream, providing a relaxed desert landscape experience.
The JNF advises visitors to check their website for site status and open trails, monitor weather forecasts, bring water, and adhere to safety guidelines, including avoiding unauthorized fires and leaving no trace.
