Hula Valley,Syrian- African Rift valley
Hula Lake Park, is located in the southern part of the Hula Valley, north of the nature reserve. The site has become the second home for millions of migrating birds in the autumn and lake covers an area of one square kilometer interspersed with islands that serve as protected bird nesting sites. Probably the major birdwatching site in Israel It is a major stopover for birds migrating along the Syrian-African Rift Valley between Africa, Europe, and Asia. The marshland around Lake Hula, a breeding grounds for malaria, was drained in the 1950s. A small section of the valley was later reflooded in an attempt to revive a nearly extinct ecosystem to great success An estimated 500 million migrating birds now pass through the Hula Lake Park every year. To avoid damage to the agricultural areas the birds are fed by the park authorities
