Israel Trail Fall 2024- north to south
The Israel Trail typically commences at Mount Hermon. However, considering current circumstances, we've chosen to start our journey in the Lower Galilee at the Swiss Forest, which offers a panoramic view of the Sea of Galilee. This decision is contingent upon the prevailing security conditions; any changes may result in starting the trail from Mount Hermon instead.
