Little Switzerland

This nature reserve gets its name from the wonderfully refreshing natural grove that has remained wild and thick, and the bright colored flowers that bloom at the end of every winter.

This forest is part of Carmel National Park and has picnic tables and shaded spots, as well as a scenic lookout over the river, Mt. Carmel and the surrounding area. There is an entrance fee on Saturdays and holidays, which includes a parking fee and entrance to the Hai-Bar Carmel Wildlife Reserve.
