Itinerary description

A short loop trail near Sde Boker. Starting with a short, but steep at times, decent along Karkash river, a pretty flat walk along the winding Havarim riverbed and a moderate longer climb back with a cycling trail which provides views from above of Havarim and Zin rivers. If you are lucky you might meet a family of Ibex, a desert fox or some birds.
Walking along the Havarim river it is worth a while to explore one or two of the long slot canyon coming out of it.
2 hours.
