Itinerary description

This is a long hike to visit the Ein Mata palm trees. (There is a much shorter option, parking at "Mata Forest - Hanot Ruin" and then walking down on the red route and coming back up on the black route)

The burnt Palm trees are very interesting.

I was the only one parked near that roundabout between road 375 and 3855 (round Bet Shemesh)
I left the road on a dirt road to the right, I could have gone a few more meters and get on the green route directly. This way was nice too.
