Israel National Trail Overview 
Zigzagging its way from the Northern border with Lebanon to the Red
Sea through the Sea of Galilee, Nazareth, Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and
The Negev(the Israeli desert), the Israel National Trail (INT) crosses historic
places, archeological site and unique landscapes.Consisting of 900 KM of marked trail the INT is a diverse path ranging from rivers in the North to the dryness and emptiness of the Negev in the South to modern and busy Tel-Aviv to old and holy City Jerusalem. 
Swimming in the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River and visiting the Basilica of
the Annunciation will take you to the places where Christianity was born.
Walking in the land where the Bible stories unfold and seeing the evidence and
the archeological sites of tales we have grown up with make the trail a holy and
spiritual experience for every human being. Crossing many villages and towns,
the INT is full of choices and possibilities.
You can sleep near civilization or be one with the wilderness. You can choose to carry five days of food or re-supply almost everyday. It's all up to you to decide what kind of INT experience is right for you. The INT gives one the chance to experience superb desert scenery in a relatively accessible way. When hiking the INT you are never more than a one day hike from a road or two days to a reliable water source. Magnificent desert colors, animals and flowers are some of the many wonderful highlights. 
Israel, where the majority of people speak English as a second language and are more
than willing to help. One won't recognize this Israel from the pictures seen in CNN…
and will have a better picture and understanding of the place that is making headline
news more then
anywhere else.. |
