To the edge of the mountain: the most beautiful summit trails in the country

Here are the most beautiful summit routes in the country

We were surprised: the stream with the water that is empty of hikers even on Fridays

The summit route on Mount Tabor

One of the most popular summit routes in the country winds up a relatively dwarf mountain.

The whole 562 meters.

The mountain rises in the Lower Galilee, and the route itself lasts about three kilometers. This is an easy observation trip for the whole family, starting at a spot with the mysterious name "Gate of the Spirits". Because according to Christian tradition, here Jesus performed the famous miracle of change, in which he radiated his face and shone everywhere. This is also the reason why the mountain is considered sacred in the eyes of Christians. you with views across the Galilee, including an abundance of cultivated fields look like a painting. later, you notice even the Gilboa mountains and Nazareth, Galilee and even the Golan.

Holiday vacations in Eilat?

It is surprising to find that less than a 15-minute drive from the city's shores, rises one of the most beautiful lookout points in the south.

All this goodness comes courtesy of Mount Yehoram, which is about 680 meters high.

It is recommended to arrive in the morning or towards sunset, to get the maximum effect: from above you can see the Gulf of Eilat on one side and the mountains of Eilat on the other, as well as glimpses towards Egypt, Jordan and even Saudi Arabia.

And if you have arrived towards evening, and you are in the business of continuing the night here - you should know that at the top of the mountain a beautiful and pleasant night camp has been prepared.

It has drinking water, ecological toilets and also complexes where it is instructed to light a campfire.

A perfect spot.

And if you are really into a challenging matter, you can climb nearby Mount Solomon, and the slightly higher (for the best of the hike).

Mount Barkan in Gilboa

Before reaching Mount Barkan in Gilboa, it is worth clarifying something about Gilboa itself.

Not many people know that Gilboa is not a single mountain standing on its own, but a ridge where several peaks rise.

From the top of the ridge you can get breathtaking views towards the Jezreel Valley, the Gilad Mountains, the Carmel, the Beit She'an Valley and more.

Mount Barkan is just one of these peaks, and if you are in the business of observation plus bone extraction, it is recommended to go for a short and easy hike around a peak of about one kilometer.

The summit rises to a height of 497 meters above sea level.

The circular route is marked in red, and beyond the valleys of the surrounding valleys, you will meet an ancient winepress and an ancient cistern.

If you are left with a taste of more, just drive along the "Gilboa View Road", and stop at every possible observation.

Mount in the burden of the Golan

Here, we have reached a mountain that already deserves its name.

This is thanks to its 1,165 meters, above sea level.

Here, the landscape is the dominant element, but next to it there are several other points of interest, including surrealistic metal sculptures of imaginary creatures and other surprises, IDF bunkers that are no longer in use and plenty of observation points towards the Syrian neighbor, as well as the slopes of Mount Hermon and the Golan Heights. By the way, if you had come here about 100,000 years ago, you would have encountered an active

, fortunately, it is

A trail revolves around a summit on Mount Meron

From an altitude of 1,208 meters above sea level, things look different.

Mainly smaller.

Summit Trail head of tailings highest mountain in Galilee, offers easy walking difficulty level, along two miles away. The result is a panoramic view of the Galilee and the Golan - just like watching high on Google strip, three-dimensional version.

Your trip will take you not only to Great views, but also will meander you through a beautiful grove of oaks and batons, poles, birch trees, etc. Here and there you will notice relics from ancient times, including an ancient winepress. Red

Cliff top at Replica Cliff

Welcome to the Replica Cliff, which rises along the Dead Sea, next to Route 90. You have always driven alongside it, but did you ever think you would climb it?

Here, this day has come.

Unlike other recommendations so far, in this route you will have to gasp.

And even very.

Because what to do - for "forward" observation you have to work.

And now a surprise: the route that goes by the name "Rosh Tzukim" is the first hiking trail marked in Eretz Israel (1947).

The climb itself is a bit tedious, but at the end you will reach an amazing view of the Dead Sea, with the Einot Tzukim Nature Reserve at your foot, on its lakes and dense vegetation, which looks like a graceful green spot from here.

The road is back and forth (about two km in each direction), and is held on black trails. Park in the parking lot of Einot Tzukim Reserve, carefully cross the road and start climbing.

Mini-summit: Tel Azka

Along with all these mountains, Tel Azka in the lowlands also stands out (literally).

So true, Tel is not a mountain, but from a height of 364 meters above sea level, and high above the Ella Valley, you will get not only beautiful panoramic views but also an abundance of historical stories.

Tel Azka is known to be the place next to which one of the most famous battles in history took place - between David and Goliath.

Beyond that, Ezekiel is often mentioned in the sources in many contexts, and the path to the summit is interwoven with verses engraved on the stone rocks beside you.

Upstairs, a beautiful vantage point awaits you, and even partially shaded.

Here, too, appear verses describing the known battle.

It is recommended not to be satisfied at this point but to go for a short circular walk at the top of the mound, and on the way to view archeological remains, a large relief map made of rock and fun resting points in front of the landscape.

For dessert, go for an invested picnic in Britain Park.
