Bat Galim, north of the route, was built in the 1920s as a garden suburb outside the city. Bat Galim’s original houses were one story high. Many houses from the 1920s and 30s still remain, some in the International Style (Bauhaus) that still stand out among their neighbours.
Starting point Stella Maris | Ends at Bat Galim Promenade
The trail begins alongside the Navy Building opposite the Carmelite church and monastery, in the midst of Carob and Mastic trees in a natural forest. Several paths lead to a small domed building - the Holy Family Chapel, which initially served as a windmill. There’s a beautiful view of the sea and Haifa’s neighbourhoods from several terraces next to the chapel and above it. This is the best place to understand Jeremiah's passage: “...and Carmel by the sea; it shall come about” (46.18).
