More about the place

Nahal Katlav flows along the eastern edge of the Nahal Sorek Reserve, and gets its name from the strawberry trees (katlav) growing along it. The trail heads down the riverbed, passing by Ein Giora and Ein Katlav springs, alongside remnants of water reservoirs and orchards, and ends at the Bar Giora train station where the stream meets Nahal Sorek. In the fall, Sternbergia (chalmonit) and autumn crocus (sitvanit) bloom along the stream bed, and in the spring, orchids and tulips.
