The Shlomo Shmeltzer Visitors Center

You are invited to the new Visitors Center at Kibbutz Ma’ale Gilboa!

We’ll start off with a bird’s eye view of the Springs Valley and the Gilboa Mountains and we’ll hear the biblical story of Saul and Jonathan, the history of the settlement of the valley and all about modern Ecological Zionism.

Next we’ll visit the new Visitors Center and practice via an interactive computer game the fundamentals of building and running a wind turbine. There’s also a short movie about the power of the wind.

Then we’ll take a short walking tour alongside the wind turbines and see the wind turbines up close. We’ll also get a view of the new Pumped Storage Power Station.

Optional workshops and special activities are available.
