The Lower Galilee ((ヘブライ語:הגליל התחתון), translit. ''HaGalil HaTaḥton''), is a region within the North District of Israel. The Lower Galilee reaches from Jezreel Valley in the south to the Upper Galilee in the north, from which it is separated by the Beit HaKerem Valley. Its eastern border is the Jordan River and the Sea of Galilee. Its western border is the Zvulun Valley and Acre. The Lower Galilee is the southern part of the Galilee. It's called "Lower" since it is less mountainous than the Upper Galilee. The peaks of the Lower Galilee rise to 500 meters above sea level. The tallest peaks are Mount Kamon (598 m) at the northern part of the Lower Galilee and Mount Tabor (588 m) in the southern part. ==Geography== The Lower Galilee consists of three different regions which differ in their geological structure: * The western Lower Galilee * The central Lower Galilee * The high regions of the eastern Lower Galilee The central Lower Galilee consists of low mountain ranges which extend from east to west with several valleys in between; south of the Beit HaKerem (Šagor) Valley is the Shagor mountain range, then the Sakhnin valley, the Yodfat range, the Tur'an valley and range, the Beit Netofa Valley, and the Ksulot () range. In the western part of the Lower Galilee there are several low hills (200–300 meters) covered with Oak tree forests, the central Lower Galilee region is more mountainous and the eastern Lower Galilee region turn into flat basalt mountainside reaching heights of 300 meters above sea level which extend from northeast to the southwest. Although the landscape of the Lower Galilee is less dramatic than that of the Upper Galilee, it is greener, more peaceful and quiet. The Lower Galilee is more accessible to the majority of Israelis (less than a 2 hour drive from the Tel Aviv area). Much of the produce farms of Israel originates in the Lower Galilee, especially in the Jezreel Valley and the Beit She'an Valley. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lower Galilee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
