ESRA has been organising hikes for over 16 years, initially on Saturdays, and more recently Midweek. We have covered many hiking trails all over Israel at varying levels of difficulty, aimed at good walkers who enjoy hiking, discovering new places, hearing about the local history, archaeology, flora and fauna, and enjoy meeting new people in fresh air surroundings. Travel is by bus.

Hikers should come properly prepared for each hike: plenty of water (2 litres per person in normal weather, at least 3 litres per person if it's hot), good walking boots/shoes, hat, sunscreen, and food for breakfast and lunch in a backpack. Walking poles are useful. Torch, swimming gear and change of clothes where suitable.

N.B. We reserve the right to refuse participation on the hike to any person who does not come properly equipped or is not physically capable of making the distance!!! .
