Description: The Hula is an area of Israel which, before the foundation of the country, was a swamp. Pioneers worked in this area to dry it, by planting trees that demanded much water, and by filling it with soil and sand. In the last few years, the swamp has begun to overcome that, but in a different form - some lakes have lately appeared in the area, and they are a source of water and fish for migrant birds. So, if you are coming to Israel between March and June or between September and November, you will probably see a lot of birds there. There are two places to stop there: The Hula National Reserve, or the Agamon Hula (Hula Lake). The Hula National Reserve is an area that was kept almost completely natural. The only thing modified there was adding the cabin of the visitor center, some towers, and bridges around the lakes for birdwatching, and a trail for walking through the small ponds. The rest was kept completely natural. Agamon Hula Park (Agamon means Little Lake), on the contrary, was built for being a touristic center, with a Bird Wall, an elaborate audio-visual spectacle (Mini-Hula), Flying with the Cranes (virtual reality), nature films and more. There you can rent bicycles and other things to move faster in the region, and all is just more fit for family travel and joy. Please note that in both cases, to guarantee the ability to go in, it would be advisable to enter their websites and sign up for a visit. In both parks there is an entrance fee that, at the time of this posting, is NIS 35, or approximately USD 10.
