The Carmel National Park is a large area right outside of Haifa with many hiking trails, natural springs, archaeological sites, and amazing areas where you can easily see wildlife. Much of the Carmel is defined as a national park and historically there has been little settlement on the mountain. Lots of hiking trails through the woods. Beautiful hike down the Carmel mountains. A medium to hard trail with ups and downs. Local vendors were very friendly and knowledgeable. The so called Little Switzerland is amazing in spring: full of wild flowers and therefore full of colors and smells and after some rain, even a small water stream with creeks. And many paths to follow...

Fabulous views of northern Israel from the rooftop. The statute of Elijah was nice, but much smaller than I expected. The pictures I saw made me think it was 20 feet tall. Its probably closer to 4 or 5ft. The area surrounding the statute has a pretty little garden with places to sit and spend time relaxing. It was a group bus tour and unfortunately we ran out of time and could not go in the church.

Beautiful hike down the Carmel mountains. A medium to hard trail with ups and downs. Suitable for dogs who are used to these kinds of trails. I brought my dog, and at some spots, she had a tough time. All in all, a nice hike down and back up the mountains. At the bottom (middle) we arrived at a cool run-off (geyser type) where we were able to get in and cool off. Very nice, recommend馃槉馃悤

We walked the green and black trail and returned from the blue one. Absolutely wonderful trail that's not too easy and not too difficult. Great views all around and very peaceful. The distance is a bit on the longer side but isn't too taxing. Highly recommended, especially around spring time when everything is blooming

We were here on 13/02/21, near the Carmelites' monastery. The nature is truly beautiful, as everywhere in the North of Israel. What's frustrating is the crazy crouds of people flowing in here after the lockdown ban has been lifted... So I guess come and visit the nature reserves on the week days, not on the weekend!)

Very nice hiking zone. Not too hard so many people can do it. Has few different paths and on the way you can enter a cave where a prehistoric drawings are shown on the cave walls. Theres a large population of bats there as well. From what i saw small children can hike there as well.
