This week, on a foggy and cold day, a space in my heart opened up for Yatir Forest. I decided it was time for a visit.
Duration: Up to Half Day
Matta Forest 10K – Woodland Walk
We found ourselves on a carpet of pine needles, with clusters of cyclamen blossoms popping up from between the rocks.
Tzora Forest -6K Loop Trail
I was sure we had missed a photo-op as we lazed away in the shadows, but the cows just kept on coming. One after another, they made their way through the trees.
Ein Avdat One Way Trail
Little streams trickle between large, flat rocks. A palpable silence fills the space inside the canyon.
Nahal Zanoah to Ein Mata
We found a gorgeous, easy walk through nature with an awesome olive grove, a spring, ancient ruins, and a weirdly cool palm tree forest.
