Information

Shekelmes tract is not large, its dimensions are one kilometer by kilometer in length and width. The tract is unique for its colors and unusual colors. The soil consists of chalk accumulations, which are millions of years old, when there was an ocean in the distant past. There is not a lot of vegetation here, the soil is almost without life, but it only seems so at first glance. Various small birds and animals live here, as well as small plants. In the tract at sunset, you can take very beautiful photos, and at sunrise the area acquires a magical color. We invite you to visit this place together with our company.
