גן אקולוגי בוטני. טכניון

הגענו לשער החיצוני לאחר שעה וחצי נסיעה, מתברר שהיינו צריכים אישור מיוחד כדי לכנס לפארק זה בגלל שזה בתוך הטכניון! זה ממש מיותר לפרסם פארק אם אין אפשרות להגיע אליו!

מקום מדהים בעיקר בחורף כאשר הפריחה בשיאה ובריכות המים מתמלאות

A tranquil and hidden place in the non-centered part of the Technion. If you are lucky, you will see many rock hyraxes leaning on stones or abandoned agricultural implements. Pay attention not to scare them, and just pass by quietly. There are also some small and hidden trails where you can follow the signs and enjoy the beauty of flowers, ponds, streams, and ecological gardens. There are picnic tables for resting and picnicking!

This garden is a lovely oasis at the top of the city of Haifa, and one of the city's best-kept secrets. It's not huge, but most plants are fastidiously labelled and there are some nice shady spots with thoughtful benches to sit and enjoy your surroundings. It's a longish walk from the cable car, but there are also lots of buses from the cable car if you don't want to walk. Keep in mind the season when you're visiting! In the summer, you'll see more brown and fewer flowers. Be prepared; the area around the ornamental pool does have some mosquitos. Our only real problem was that this garden desperately needs better signage! I've been there 3 times and still got lost. There are no signs from the outside (or from the bus) letting you know where it is - we had to stop and ask for directions.
