Gan HaShlosha National Park
Gan HaShlosha National Park (
national park in Israel. Located between kibbutzim Beit Alfa and Nir David, it has naturally warm water where visitors can swim all year. It is named in memory of three Jewish pioneers who came to survey the land on behalf of the Jewish National Fund in 1938, when their car rode over a land mine and all three were killed.[1]
The spring water that emerges in the western part of the park maintains a constant, year-round temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. Amal Stream, which crosses the park, has been widened into pools.[2]
An old water-powered mill operates at the site and an adjacent madafeh, or Arab hospitality room, has been restored. A 1:1 reconstruction of
Arab Revolt
– in this case on 10 December 1936 – is located in the park.
The Museum of Regional and Mediterranean Archaeology is located on the grounds of the park.Etruscans.[4]
