Nothing is better than spending the Chagim in Israel outdoors!  Here is our list of the top 10 hikes during the chagim season.  Before you set out, however, it must be warned that every year many, many people get themselves into trouble while hiking in Israel for lack of proper training or preparation.  To avoid this it is advised to participate in an organized hike with a trained guide before setting out on your own.  The Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) offers great hikes with experienced staff who will be glad to share their knowledge and skill with you. 

 

A few simple rules should always be followed when hiking:

- Every hiker should have at LEAST 3 liters of bottled water with them per day.

- Always wear a hat.

- Have an official trail map that you know how to read.  These can be purchased in various stores through Israel. map info...
