When we were there a big [...]

My personal peak of peaks of Israeli tracks. for those who like yellowish views. the 360 degrees fantastic view from Mt. Arif (הר עריף)to the unexplainable ancient rock engravings of Mt. Karkom (הר כרכום). A tough trail for the strong legged and stubborn minded.
3-4 days track, high intensity. the park is only open for travelers [...]

To celebrate my discharge from the army (March 15th 2009) we went to the Golan heights to track across the Golan trail, or in Hebrew “Shvil Hagolan”. It is a relatively new trail which goes all the way from Mount Hermon to Tel-Kazir. The trail was opened on may 24 2007 (which was my 22 birthday). it is marked with the green blue and white to symbolize the Hermon, the Kinneret(sea of Galilee) and the Golan. the trail shows on the trail marking (1:50,000) map as a blue constant line with the name in Hebrew, it’s map number 1 Golan & Hermon.
