Itinerary description
Great hike in the Dead Sea area. Start and end is at Nahal Zeelim campsite. If you the trail in the clockwise direction it's first half will have lots of shade from the canyon walls. The trail is rather easy, and can be simplified even further if you go up the Maale Namer (instead of continuing to Ein Namer and then going up). Recommended for late autumn and winter months.
Waypoints

Narrow riverbed
This section features very narrow and smooth riverbed, evidence to extremely strong flows. At one place there is a ~5m climb secured with a rope
Waypoint

Ein Namer
The map is confusing here - red trail appears to be a dead-end trail to Ein Namir, however this is the trail that will take you up to the black trail leading up

Amazing trail, but really not easy one.
Black road have some tricky locations at Ein Namer. You must use climbing skills or continue onto blue road.
Not recomend to do this trail as single person.
