The delightful Eden Springs Park
Eden Springs Park is a small, delightful, popular park 4 km south of Katzrin with flowing water, pools and small waterfalls throughout the year. None of the pools are deep enough for swimming, although you can wade in the water. There is green grass, but no picnic benches or restrooms.
The water source for the pools is from the nearby Salukia Spring. Most of its water is channeled to the mineral water company Eden Springs (May Eden), which exports its bottled water to many countries, but some water does flow south to this park. Between the trees you can see the ruins of an abandoned Syrian village.
