New Lookout and Accessible Trail: KKL-JNF Renovates Jezreel Hill

22 September 2026

One of the most beautiful lookout sites in the Jezreel Valley has undergone a makeover: the trails and lookouts have been renovated, a new lookout point has been established, shaded seating areas have been added, and the site has been made accessible to people with disabilities. Further work at the site is expected to include the planting of native species and orchard trees.

Visitors arriving at Jezreel Hill will now encounter a renovated and more accessible site. Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) recently completed an upgrade of the site, which overlooks the landscapes of the Jezreel Valley and Mount Gilboa. As part of the work, the trails and lookout points were renovated and a new lookout was established.

Alongside the renovation of the walking trails, shaded seating areas were added, and accessibility improvements were carried out to enable people with disabilities to reach the site and enjoy the lookouts and the open views across the valley.

Jezreel Hill is a site that combines nature, scenery and heritage, and serves as a starting point for hikes in the area. The site was previously developed by KKL-JNF and has now undergone an additional upgrade designed to make it suitable for a wider range of visitors and improve the overall visitor experience. Development work at the site is expected to continue, with the planting of native species and orchard trees that will complement the existing vegetation and landscape. This will include upgrading the trail connecting the site to Ein Jezreel and the nearby spring.

KKL-JNF Chairman Eyal Ostreinsky: “Israel’s nature and landscapes belong to everyone, and it is our responsibility to enable as many people as possible to enjoy them. The upgrade at Jezreel Hill allows visitors, including people with disabilities, to walk, pause to take in the view, and enjoy one of the most beautiful sites in the Jezreel Valley. We will continue investing in making KKL-JNF’s nature and heritage sites accessible and in making them welcoming and inviting for the entire public.”
