En Afek Nature Reserve

Archeology Attractions
SITE OVERVIEW

The En Afek Nature Reserve preserves swampland and waterway sources the majority of which have been lost in Israel. Along the swamp pathway (walkway built over the swamp) in the Reserve, visitors “float” over a swamp surrounded by rich riverbank vegetation and colorful water birds.

Tel Afek, also spelled Aphek and Afeq, is an archaeological site located in the coastal hinterland of the Ein Afek Nature Reserve, east of Kiryat Bialik, Israel. The site is what remains of the biblical town of Aphik, which is mentioned in Joshua and Judges as belonging to the Tribe of Asher. According to Biblical history, this area was part of Cabul and was given to Hiram I by Solomon as a reward for various services rendered to him in building the First Temple.
