17.5 acres of formal gardens are arranged as a series of defined spaces surrounding the crypt of Baron Edmond de Rothschild and his wife, Baroness Adelheid’s final resting place. The appearance of the Gardens varies throughout the year depending on the season, with changing flower fragrances and different tree colours.
 

The Nature Park offers visitors many pleasurable pursuits. Circular hiking trails, suited to walkers of different capabilities, are studded with observation points. Along the way you can gaze on Mediterranean scenery and the remnants of ancient human settlement, discover a spring hidden in greenery, and look at the special acclimatization cage where birds of prey are prepared for their release back into nature –  part of Ramat Hanadiv's efforts to re-establish and preserve the fauna of the land of Israel.

Archive pictures of the Baron de Rothschild and his descendents. 

During the years of excavation, many findings were made within the Herodian palace, all of which demonstrate the richness and high stature of its owner in his day. Most of the findings originate from the days of Herod, while others may be linked with other eras, indicating the long-lasting prestige of the palace.

Bird ringing takes place at Ramat Hanadiv on a monthly basis, in which a diverse collection of birds is collected. We welcome you to a gallery of pictures taken of these birds, and promise to add new species or any other useful information as soon as it’s discovered.
