The KKL-JNF created a path designed for the visually impaired and the blind in honor of International Day of the Blind marked on June 6th.

The visitors will be able to walk on their own in the open landscape, even without prior familiarity with the place.

The KKL-JNF also built parking spaces and accessible tables in the area. The parking lot is dedicated to the Bukovina Jewish community, many of whose members perished in the Holocaust.

The route is a circular one that is paved between forest and orchard trees with a length of about 500 meters.

Bela Nodelman, architect of the center area at KKL-JNF, said, "We invite everybody to come and walk along an accessible path, suitable for everyone with an emphasis on people with visual impairments. A recommendation to experience the path with closed eyes and to feel the world through an experience of touch, hearing, touch without seeing, a bit like what people with visual disabilities experience."
