More about the place

Ein Akev is the name of two springs in Nahal Akev on Ramat Avdat, near Midreshet Ben-Gurion and Nahal Tzin. At lower Ein Akev, the water cascades down in a waterfall from a rock wall about ten meters high into a pool about eight meters deep, with cold, clear water year-round, surrounded by reeds, cattails, and tamarisk. In the area, you can spot ibexes and vultures. You can reach it on foot from Midreshet Sde Boker or from Nahal Tzin, or by off-road vehicle up to a parking area about half a kilometer from the spring.
