Itinerary description

IT is a bit unclear what happened in this recording as this was a circular rout. I left the car and started to walk from the same spot where the map indicates the end of the trail.
However one could also start from Eshtaol itself. There is a pedestrian-only bridge above that road.

I marked it difficult as there are a few very steep ascends and descends in this route.

When walking back on road 395 I took a dirt-road next to it which turned out to be a dead-end. That made me climb back a 100 m or so. Not much, but I was a bit tired by that time.
