Kfar Kisch: Printmaking and Guided Tours

Kfar Kisch offers two different highlights: at the Sadaria, you can work with traditional printing methods; with Beshviley Hatavor, tours set off towards Khirbat Ma'adar. There is something here for everyone, from creating something yourself to guided outdoor experiences. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, first consider which of these activities will be the main focus of your trip.

Traditional printmaking at the Sadaria

At the Sadaria, visitors can print, learn and create. Machines more than 100 years old are available for this purpose. This makes the process itself part of the experience: you can explore traditional printing methods and try your hand at creating your own designs, rather than just looking at a finished print. For families, this is a different kind of experience from the guided tours; here, the focus is on hands-on printing.

The visit therefore combines a hands-on activity with a look at old printing machines. If you enjoy creating things yourself, the Sadaria offers a distinctive way to experience Kfar Kisch. The offering is clearly different from the rides with Beshviley Hatavor and can help you decide which experiences you want to shape your trip.

Guided tours from Kfar Kisch

Beshviley Hatavor offers guided self-drive off-road tours on routes in the Lower Galilee. The provider lists couples, families and groups as its target audiences. The combination of self-driving and a guide is what makes these tours distinctive; check directly with the provider before your trip to find out which arrangements are currently available.

A sunset tour starts in Kfar Kisch and heads towards Khirbat Ma'adar. Along the way, there is a stop at Maayan Hamesh, where guests can wade in the water and prepare coffee and herbal tea. Beshviley Hatavor also offers an evening twilight experience tour that likewise starts in Kfar Kisch and heads towards Khirbet Ma'adar. Both descriptions indicate the time of day for the outing; the stop for water, coffee and herbal tea is part of the sunset tour.

When planning, it is worth weighing up the interests of your fellow travellers: should the day focus on creating something at the Sadaria or on a guided drive? The tours are expressly aimed at couples, families and groups, while the Sadaria offers printing, learning and creating. Check tour availability and arrangements with the provider in advance.

Archaeological highlights in the Northern District

In the wider travel destination of the Northern District, Tel Hazor and Tel Megiddo each offer their own historical highlights. Tel Hazor is a biblical tell with significant remains of a city associated with the Bible; visits focus on the upper city. One of its notable structures is Solomon's Gate, a gate with six chambers and two towers dating from the 10th century BCE.

The water system also brings Tel Hazor's history to life: an underground water collection system is considered a sophisticated, geographically adapted engineering achievement for storing water. The excavated shaft is 45 metres deep, with steps three metres wide carved into the walls of the vertical shaft. Another feature is the Canaanite palace used by the kings of Hazor in the 14th and 13th centuries BCE. It is described as the most elaborate palace in Israel and one of the most important in the Levant. Together, the different structures reveal several aspects of the site's history.

Tel Megiddo is one of three tells that preserve significant remains of cities associated with the Bible and are closely connected with events in the Bible. Its Early Bronze Age temple complex is considered exceptional because of the number of its temples, the continuity of worship, and the documented ritual activities. The orthogonal city plan dates from the Iron Age, and has few parallels in the Levant. Tel Hazor and Tel Megiddo offer different highlights: water engineering, gates and a palace at Hazor; a temple complex and urban planning at Megiddo.
