Tel Dan, Nature Reserves       Tel Dan reserve is situated on a very small area but because of it's geographical location, and the surrounding conditions - it is one of the more popular reserves in Israel. Archeological diggings have taken place in Tel-Dan, during which were discovered, the remains of the biblical city of Dan, dating from King Yarubaam days. Tel-Dan has also been a military camp until the six day war. The design of the pathways and the lookout spots in Tel-Dan reserve was done as part of a tendency of opening archeological sites to the public. The way that was chosen to connect the mound to Tel-Dan reserve, and to the archeological remains, intensifies the special location of the site, which looks over all of Jordan's river water resources. In the project, lookout points and panoramical views were planned, and an attempt was made to intensify the connection between the old settlements to natural resources and to pass some of the spiritual feelings that the site has evoked in its creators. The plants species that were planted in different places in the site were chosen from the variety that existed in the place, without importing foreign species into the reserve. The plant species were chosen so the new plantation will combine with the existing vegetation, and will look as part of the natural whole texture. The ancient oak trees, hundred of years old, which exist on the mound, and their roots which were exposed through the archeological diggings, were given protection, by using white pebble walls. These are very different from the carved rock of the buildings. Project initiators: The Authority of Natural Reserves, The Governments Office of Tourism.
