Ein Hod

Galilee Area, Israel

Ein Hod is a charming, picturesque artists’ village set in the heart of the Carmel Forest.  

Established in 1949 by new immigrants, it became an artists’ village in 1953 at the initiative of Marcel Janco, a renowned Dada artist who organized an unusually diverse group of artists and craftspeople to settle among the ancient stone houses.Ein Hod’s location at the foot of Mount Carmel, in close proximity of various tourist sites and nature reserves, provides many sightseeing opportunities. Among the recommended places to visit are:  the Druze town of Daliyat el-Carmel; historic Zikhron Ya’akov; the Khof Dor - Ha-Bonim Reserve; the ancient Etsba Cave; Nakhal Me'arot Reserve; and Nakhal Kelakh.
