On Saturdays, when buses pause their rumble, this station transforms into a haven for parked cars, while on weekdays, it's a nexus easily reached by the pulse of public transport, beginning a journey by the Yarkon's gentle flow, towards Petah Tikva's distant urban dance, all framed in dawn's soft glow.
Hiking along the Yarkon River in central Israel, from Petah Tikva to the old railway station in Rosh HaAyin, offers a picturesque and historically rich experience. This trail winds through scenic fields and orange groves, unveiling unique moments of both history and nature. Key attractions along the route include old mills, the concrete house, Kfar Baptistim, and two national parks: the Yarkon River Sources and Tel Afek Antipatris. Along the trail, there are two rest areas for hikers to relax and enjoy the region's inspiring natural beauty and captivating stories.
