Last Saturday we hiked the Carmel Mountains and today I wanted to share several photos from that hike.
Map of the area:
In the background, you can see Haifa University. We parked nearby and started walking.
As you can see there are already many blooming flowers:
Flowers attract butterflies:
Cyclamens:
You can see the sea and the coast line from the Carmel Mountains. And in clear weather you can even see Hedera power station (in the upper left corner):
New neighborhood construction next to the University:
More Cyclamens:
The road to the sea:
Another bonus of coming early (besides the cooler weather) is eagles. Hai Bar Carmel is located not far and many eagles after healing and released to nature, come back to the Carmel Mountains.
Did I already say there are many flowers? 😉
This is the first time I see wild tulips in Israel:
I always thought it’s too hot for tulips in Israel.
As you can see during all our hike we didn’t go too far from Haifa University:
Tirat Carmel view from the Carmel Mountains:
This was a short hike, about two hours long. But, nonetheless, we saw the nature at its best. The Spring is already here, the flowers are blooming and the weather is nice. I hope these photos will make you want to take a hike.
That’s all for today and I’ll see you in future travels!
Stay Tuned!
