Welcome to Hadera City
Many of us pass this region on our way northward, for cottage vacations in the Galilee or Kinneret, totally unaware that we are missing one of Israel’s major touristic treasures. The most one typically notices is the forest of eucalyptus trees that harken back to the poem we once learned in high school about the eucalyptus tree.
But Hadera offers much more than its historic forest. Hadera the colony was founded in 1891 by immigrants from the first wave of immigration to pre-state Israel. Over the years it has become a multicultural city blessed with a long golden coastline, green spaces, municipal and national parks, a restored river that has become a true attraction, heritage sites and more. Alongside all these are vital energy infrastructures including a power station, a Science & Technology Center, and a charming hotel that offers a spectacular view of the sunset. Hadera’s location in the heart of the country has turned it into a rich tourist destination offering a wealth of attractions for the entire family. Here one can enjoy several days of enjoyable and thrilling excursions guaranteed to leave you with great experiences that you never expected to find here.
Nature
Nahal Hadera Park: Poet Nathan Yonatan penned a poem about Hadera Stream called “The shores sometimes yearn for the stream”. Since then Hadera Stream has become an attractive park, established together with the construction of the Maor David power station (currently known as Orot Rabin). A segment of the stream measuring one and a half kilometers in length was restored, such that seawater is channeled into the power station to cool the turbines and pumped back into the stream, thus assuring a regular flow throughout the year. Established along the banks of the stream are a beautiful park that includes lawns, nooks for recreation and barbecues.
