No 1. in Israel
- John P February 2020
- Rate 9
- Positive A trail crossing many different landscapes from deserts in the south to forests, rolling hills, and beaches to the north. In the desert the well marked trails have some "exciting" sections climbing up and down rock faces using metal rungs. There are a lot of archaeological, historical and religious sites on or near the route.
- Negative Israel is an expensive place.

- Positive Die einmalige Landschaft. Besonders die Wüste ist großartig. Die Hilfsbereitschaft der Menschen ist einzigartig.
- Negative Der Weg ist im Norden ein wenig mit Müll versehen.

Trees on the INT?
- I want to use a hammock while hiking the INT but don't know of the tree capability, or at least how to hang a hammock! The guidebooks don't say. Any ideas?

- Hi Tom, I think you'd best contact "shvil yisrael". They have a blog and they hiked it all. See the links section above.
