Amud Stream - General Background
Amud Stream is one of dozens Streams in the North and is considered the highest stream in the country among the streams that flow for it throughout the year. The source of Nahal Amud is in the Upper Galilee area, between Mount Meron and Safed and its flow is in a southeasterly direction through the Lower Galilee, when the stream empties to the west of the Sea of Galilee.
The hiking route in Amud Stream
The route begins in Nahal Amud in Ein a-Tina – a police station from the days of the British Mandate. After descending you will reach an old flour mill that was active until the beginning of the 20th century, and from here it is possible to continue to the right or left of the bus. We recommend choosing a different side back and forth. The trail is saturated with sections of water, spectacular orchards, flowers and if you pay attention you will notice wildlife visiting the creek: rock rabbits, porcupines, wild boars, jackals, foxes and partridges.
Next, you can choose one of five options to continue the route:
- Back the same way up, on the other side of the creek.
