Shayeret Yehiam Recreation Area

The Shayeret Yehiam recreation area is located where a convoy leaving Nahariya was attacked during the War of Independence while bringing supplies to the besieged Kibbutz Yehiam. The recreation area has picnic tables, some of which are wheelchair-accessible. Two paved trails exit the site. One of them runs along the old road from Nahariya to Yehiam, and adjacent to the trail lie the skeletons of the three armored vehicles of the Yehiam Convoy, exactly where they were stopped during the War of Independence. There is a monument there that commemorates the names of the 47 fallen members of the convoy. Another disabled-accessible path leads to an old flour mill, which used the waters of the Ein Tzuf Spring to power its millstones.
 
Directions: The Convoy recreation area is about 800 m south of Kabri Junction, on the eastern side of Route 70. Only those approaching from the south can enter the site.
