Parks & Natural Springs

Jerusalem's surrounding Judean Mountains are home to ancient springs and sophisticated irrigation systems dating back to the Roman and Byzantine periods. These sites, such as Ein Lavan and Ein Haniya, feature stone-built pools and rock-hewn tunnels used for historic agriculture. Located in valleys like Kidron and Refaim, these natural water sources offer insights into the region's hydraulic history and provide cooling pools amidst terrace-farmed landscapes of fig and almond trees.
