At Lehavim Junction (road 40) turn eastwards (road 31), pass the main entrance to Lehavim.
Next to the eastern entrance to Lehavim there’s a KKL parking lot. Park your car and follow the path (parallel to the main road) by foot.
After about 400 meters you’ll see on your right the “Valley of the Sternbergia”.
