More about the place
Ein Varda, also known as Ein Vered, is the last spring that still flows around Tel Gezer. It is located east of the tel, at the head of Nahal Gezer, and is the tel's only natural water source. The water collects in a round pool built of hewn stones, in the shade of a large fig tree, and fills up in the winter and spring when the spring flow is strong. Next to it is Mitzpe Itai, an orchard in memory of Itai Steinberger from Karmei Yosef who fell in the Second Lebanon War, and those coming down from the tel can reach it by following the signs.
