Sakhne, globally known as Gan HaShlosha National Park, is located in the Beit Shean city of Israel, specifically between the Kibbutzim Nir David and beit Alfa. The national park got named after three Jew pioneers headed for a survey in 1938 representing the National Jewish fund and being killed in a land trap mine explosion.
Israel is known for its breath-taking natural wonders with HaShlosha National Park being the most beautiful national park on the land of Israel. Commonly known as a modern-day garden of Eden, this national park exhibits various pools of naturally warm water (28-degree C). Initially, the Amal stream was a natural creation but was later enlarged and renovated to make it suitable for the usage of the common public.
Additionally, the park also has some artificial waterfalls which feed into the magical teal blue water underneath. With the idealistic vision of Nir David Kibbutz and two Israeli landscape architects, the waterfalls were customized during the park rebuilding in the 1950s.
The national park grounds offer the Museum of Regional and Mediterranean Archaeology that displays rare Greek tools, ancient artifacts, and an exhibit about the Etruscans and antiquity found from unearthing in the Beit Shean Valley. Apart from the museum, Sakhne is home to the remains of naumachia, an old flour mill, the reconstructed Tel Amar tower, and a zoo with Australian wildlife. The national park witnesses the most prominent Yoga festival (annual) of Israel.
The Gan HaShlosha National Park also hosts the Israeli Juggling convection (IJC), one of the world's topmost considerable Juggling convection. It welcomes 2000 jugglers/participants at every convection.
