Pinsteps. Nature Reserve Nahal Amud

National Park Reserve Nahal Amud is located in the upper course of the stream Amud. The walking route starts at the entrance to the reserve along a dirt road. The entrance to the road north of the moshav Kfar Shamay to the east of the road number 866 (see map). At the exit of the road number 866 is a pointer. On this path you can walk to the beginning of the descent into the gorge near the building of the English police Ein Tin. The descent leads to the source of Ein Tin, from which two trails of blue and black markings diverge. Follow the blue marking trail and follow this trail to the connection of the Meron and Amud creeks south of the Ein Fuam source (see map). From the parking lot there is a trail marked with a red marking. At the confluence of the creeks 4 paths diverge. The black marking trail (northern direction) takes you along the left bank of the Amud creek to the Ein Tin source and climb to the entrance to the reserve. The trail of blue marking rises to the source of Ein Fuam. The black marking trail in a southerly direction leads to the lower stream of the Amud brook and road number 85. The blue marking trail is the route along which you came. From the source of Ein Tina - the beginning of the path, the trail of blue marking moves along the right slope of the stream along the ancient water conduit that irrigated the gardens. Soon you will find yourself on the territory of ancient gardens, where you grew figs, grapes, pomegranate trees. The gardens had an extensive irrigation system, sewers and fountains. Above the gardens are visible remnants of buildings - tenadend tenant. Continuing along the blue marking path you will begin a gentle ascent to the observation deck on the Amud and Meron stream. Then the descent will start down to the channel, and soon there will be numerous creeks with clean and cool water along the way. Trout is found in these backwaters. Swimming and fishing in creeks is prohibited. Along the way is full of natural deciduous forest, perennial hornbeam and ash, thickets of wild raspberries. Soon you will leave to the wooden bridge and creeks, where it is allowed to swim. Here is the junction of the trails. If you left the second car by the road number 85, then you can continue along the black marking path south to the road number 85, it will take about 3 hours. If you do not need to go to road number 85, go up to the source of Ein Fuam and return to the black marking trail northward to the source of Ein Tin and exit the gorge. This short route to the source of Ein Fuam will take no more than 15 minutes. Translated with Google Translate
