More about the place
Ein Haniya is a spring above the riverbed of Nahal Refaim, within the Jerusalem area, and since 2021 it has been operated by the Nature and Parks Authority. The water flows from two small caves into a large pool, and around it there is a nine-meter-long water tunnel you can crawl through, an ancient fountain structure, agricultural terraces, and antiquities dating from the First Temple period through the Byzantine era. You can drive right up to the parking lot at the entrance along the road that leads from the Malha Mall area toward Gilo, or hike there on foot along the Ein Lavan trail. There is an entrance fee. Before you go, it is worth checking the Nature and Parks Authority website to see if you need to book your visit in advance.
