After about 100 meters, you will pass a bridge over the river. You can then look for a dirt road on the right leading into the reservation. People wishing to get directly to the Turtle Bridge, should take the old Haifa - Tel-aviv highway (route 4) from Tel-aviv heading north, until the Hefer junction, where you turn left towards Kfar Vitkin. Drive 2 Kilometers, and before the railway turn right. Now drive until you reach the bridge. |
