 | | The Galilean village of Yodefat (ancient Jotbah, Jotapata), situated 20km/12.5mi south of Akko under the north side of Mount Azmon (548m/1,798ft), was founded in 1926 as a reforestation center. |
 | | To reach the village from Akko, leave on the road to Ahihud (8km/5mi), take a road on the right to Yavor (3km/2mi), turn into a narrow road on the left and then beyond Segev (9km/6mi) turn right for Yodefat. |
