Wow.
Now THIS was my kind of site.
I
have long dreamed of owning a huge
nature reserve, filled with native wildlife and plants. Ein
Afek
came pretty close to the place I
have always imagined in my mind’s eye.
Larry
had been there many years ago,
but I never had. When he suggested that we visit, he said, “It
isn’t far -
it’s in the Krayot.” “In the Krayot??” I was thinking. “There
is a nature
reserve in the Krayot??” Imagine my surprise when we entered this
beautiful,
serene, wetland reserve. The rich waterscapes in the reserve include
springs,
tributaries, pools, a meadow, a swamp, and a section of a stream. And
there are
these amazing wooden paths that are directly in the
water, and they feel
like part of the landscape.
There
were gorgeous birds and ducks
there, plus different kinds of fish and water creatures, small mammals,
and
even a small herd of water buffalo.
There
is also a flour mill, an
audio-visual display, and a picnic area. Everything was very clean.
At
the end of the visit, Larry asked
me if I would want to return. “Return?” I said. “Are
you kidding? I
want to move in!”
If
you enjoy quiet nature, do
yourselves a favor and visit this lovely park.
