A secret spring and no people?

This is how they work on you on Instagram

"A secret spring you do not know";

"A thin turquoise pool from the car";

"We were here alone on Saturday" and other clichés that feed you on social media that make you come to the place, and be disappointed time and time again.

Avichai Shaked, a travel blogger himself, tells exactly what you need to know before storming the springs of our country

Ein Yavke Spring (Photo: Avichai Shaked)

It often happens that information about a particular place (usually springs in the summer) tends to be more visual and eye-catching and less, how to say, faithful to the source.

Then you get to the place and discover that it's not exactly according to the photos on Instagram or Pace and that it's less our style.

Now, not that it's bad to have beautiful pictures and filters and the like, and still lately I have come across quite a few posts about: "A magical-romantic-secret-clear spring in blah blah blah ... the most beautiful in the world; who needs Norway when we have the eye of hell "Just a minute from the car; I discovered another new place for you that I sailed on a sailing ship for months in the ocean and only I know", who presented a partial picture of the situation at the place.

Springs are crowded places, depending on when you come.

Come early - you too will be alone

Springs that are a minute from the vehicle - are almost always blown up in the summer.

Content creators and bloggers make an effort and get to these places really early to be photographed alone.

Come early too - and be alone.

Come early - you too will be alone.

They are all clear

All springs are equally clear.

Yes, what you heard ... water coming out of the ground is clear in their default.

What else changes their color besides a filter?

The time of filming, and soil rising from the bottom which is a function of several people in the water (see previous section).

All water is clear, depending on the bottom, filter and more.

• We too were surprised, but this crazy spring is in the land

• Leave you from the north: we found "springs" half an hour from the center

• Wet surprise for the water holiday: You will not believe it but this place is in the country

• Every Thursday: benefits and attractions for only 10 NIS - only in the Walla!

The number of people in the spring - a function of distance from the car

The unwritten law of nature says: The amount of people in a spring is 100 times the root of the distance to the place in kilometers.

I mean, a meter from the car blown up, a kilometer from the car less, after three you will be alone (relatively).

The farther the spring is from the vehicle, the more likely you are to be alone.

Maayan published?

Avoid it for the next month

Have you come across a recommendation for a hidden spring in the mass media (social authority, TV article, newspaper)?

This is the time to avoid it in the coming month if you are looking for quiet.

A hidden pool in the Galilee?

Not after they published it.

Reliable information

And as always, see where you consume your content on trips, and try to get reliable and up-to-date content on the places you travel to, because in the reasonable case you will just get mad, but in the worst case you will find yourself in a rescue helicopter and it is not pleasant.
