Hula Lake Park
The place to watch thousands of migratory birds and birds of Israel.
BBC Wildlife Magazine, the world's best-selling natural history and environmental magazine, has named the Hula Lake Park one of the most outstanding sites in the world for nature observation and photography.
The Hula Valley is an agricultural region in northern Israel with abundant fresh water. It is a major stopover for birds migrating along the Syrian-African Rift Valley between Africa, Europe, and Asia. The marshland around Lake Hula, a breeding ground for mosquitoes carrying malaria, was drained in the 1950s. A small section of the valley was later reflooded in an attempt to revive a nearly extinct ecosystem. An estimated 500 million migrating birds now pass through the Hula Lake Park every year.
