Rosh Pina
One of the first Zionist settlements in modern Israel, Rosh Pina struggled in the face of disease, drought, and plague before the land was finally purchased by Baron de Rothschild in 1883, beginning its path to success. Today, the picturesque town is the capital of rural tourism in the Galilee, home to art, culture, history, and nature.
Thanks to the support of KKL-JNF, Rosh Pina boasts a scenic promenade and cycling trail and looks out over the Biriya Forest, full of natural, archeological, and historical sites.Â
