Enjoy the Intoxicating Views of Givat Haturmosim

Over the winter and early spring, Emek Ha'ela wears a green dress dotted with blossoming flowers. Some of the hills around the valley are red with anemones, others glisten with the yellow of the chrysanthemums, and one hill, Givat Haturmosim, is covered in blue and purple. The hill is known as Tel Socho, and for two months it is covered with thousands of impressive lupines that are surrounded by cyclamens, anemones, chrysanthemums and other gorgeous wildflowers, creating a colorful and spectacular view. There is nothing like strolling along the paths of the Tel, looking out over the intoxicating views of Emek Ha'ela and enjoying the blossoms. Come enjoy the flowers while they are in bloom!
