Discover Pardes Hanna-Karkur

Pardes Hanna-Karkur offers two distinct highlights to explore: the Nahal Memorial Site in the northwest of Pardes Hanna and the Butterfly Grove, also known as the Eucalyptus Grove. The memorial site of the Nahal and Education Corps Brigade commemorates fallen soldiers; the grove provides a habitat for plants and animals. One place draws attention to remembrance, the other to observing nature. If you are interested in both, you can shape your stay around your own priorities and include both themes in your travel plans.

The Nahal Memorial Site in the northwest

The memorial site's central building includes a place of remembrance for fallen soldiers, a lecture hall and an observation tower. The site also includes an amphitheatre and the Battalion Grove. Remembrance of fallen soldiers is thus part of a complex with several other clearly named features. If you are interested in memorial sites, you can consider both the dedication and the layout of the complex: one describes its thematic focus, the other the different features on site.

The Nahal Memorial Site is considered open to the public and is signposted. If particular access requirements are important for your plans, check the conditions on site.

A winding path and named units

A winding path leads through the grove at the Nahal Memorial Site. Various Nahal units are named on rocks along the path. This makes the units visible in the grove as specific names. The path gives the visit its own focus: you can follow its course and take in the inscriptions as you go. For families, this can be something to discover together; children and adults can look out for the names as they walk and talk about them. Unlike the central building, the path and the inscribed rocks here draw attention to the individual units.

Habitat in the Butterfly Grove

The Butterfly Grove, also known as the Eucalyptus Grove, is in Pardes Hanna and provides a habitat for plants and animals. These include Israeli lupines and around seven different butterfly species. The approximate number does not describe a fixed observation for every visit, since wildlife can vary with the season. So if you enjoy looking closely, don't focus on butterflies alone: the lupines mentioned are also a specific natural feature of the grove. Its plants and animals make it a distinct nature-focused destination during your stay and a different highlight from the memorial site.

Find the right holiday rental

When looking for a holiday rental, you can first decide which highlight you want to shape your stay around. If the Nahal Memorial Site is important to your plans, its location in the northwest of Pardes Hanna can serve as a specific point of reference. If you are mainly interested in the Butterfly Grove, include it in your plans as well.
