About the Activity

In the green Judean Lowlands lies a wonderful hill where people lived many years ago!

We invite you and your little ones to join us for an easy, experiential circular hike filled with discoveries and small adventures in the heart of nature.

Along the route, we will descend to explore one or two caves, put on headlamps, and feel like real archaeologists and trackers.

We will examine the ground up close and search for ancient pottery shards that provide evidence of the lives of the area’s former residents.

Along the way, we will also discover the rich flora and fauna characteristic of this beautiful region and learn about the surrounding nature through our senses.

The route is easy, safe, and specially suited to little legs and the great curiosity of the whole family!

Come enjoy a morning of discoveries, cave exploration, stories from the past, and blooming nature on a tour that is just right for little ones!
