Gan Hashlosha is a park set around natural pools, which are fed by Sachne hot springs. One can bathe and swim in the pools year round, because the temperature of the water is steady +28 Celsius.

The pools are connected by small waterfalls. There is even a watermill, real but non-working.

When we swam in the warm pools, it was amusing to watch lots of small fish which tried to draw near and touch us.

The Gan Hashlosha National Park at the foot of Mount Gilboa was selected by ‘Time’ magazine as one of twenty sites around the world worthy of a detour. The park is described as ‘one of the world’s most intriguing spots.’ An ancient legend, popular among the Arab visitors to the park, claims this to be the original Garden of Eden.

Gan HaShlosha National Park is situated close to the route of one of the country’s most ancient roads, the King’s Way, over which goods, people and frequently armies traveled from the Mediterranean basin to the lands of the East. The park is ringed to the east with the inspiring mountains of the Golan; to the south, the mountains of Gilboa at times verdant despite the curse of David; to the north Mount Tabor and Mount Moria.
