Itinerary description

Nice and easy walk in the Bar Giora forest. Good for cool winter days (it probably will be too hot to do it in summer). Most of the walk goes through a valley, so the views are not breathtaking or anything and the forest is quite dense. I would rate this hike as 5/10.

Few notes:
* HaTeomim cave is closed during winter (it is used by bats for hatching)
* There is a point on the trail that ends with a closed gate stating it's a private property. You can go over the fence quite easily, but I continued along the fence through the forest (without a trail) until I found another gate that was opened.

    Great little round trail, nice walk through the forest, take water with you for the whole trip as we've walked it in February and there was no water on the way even to filter. The bat/twins cave is closed from November to April. The view and the small ruins on the top are quite nice. Thank you Ilia!
