Gan haSchloscha ( Hebrew גן השלושה, "Garden of Three") or Sachne ( Arabic الساخنة, "The hot") is an Israeli national park on the northern edge of the Gilboa Mountains not far from Bet She'an .

The core of the park are three thermal pools with waterfalls and stone bridges that merge into one another. The 28 degrees warm thermal water allows year-round swimming . An old watermill in the immediate vicinity , an archaeological museum and the reconstruction of the tower-and-palisade settlement Tel Amal are popular tourist destinations.

The Time magazine has chosen the park to the most beautiful place in Israel and one of the twenty most exotic places in the world.

The name Garden of the Three refers to three Hagana fighters (Aaron Etkin, Haim Sturmann and David Mozinson) who were killed in this valley in 1938.
