ESRA Hike

We begin the hike opposite Moshav Matta. The Moshav is close to Bet Shemesh and was established in 1950 with immigrants from Yemen. We look down onto the valleys and see a wonderful array of colors from almond trees olives grape vines, pomegranates, lemons, and figs. We then hike up to Mt Sanson and continue on towards Battle Hill. This is where the convoys tried to reach Gush Etzion in 1947. We hike through lush valleys and hills toward the Jerusalem highway. 

Pick up points:

6:15 | Beit Yehoshua Train Station
6:30 | Raanana - Mercaz Klita (car park)
7:00 | Latrun


For further information and pick-up points call David 0547791964 (David will be leading the hike)

Call Lawrence 0547734394 up to 4th April

Please look out for any last minute changes due to weather conditions.


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 or shoes, change of clothes/towel if swimming, hat, sunscreen and food for breakfast & lunch in a backpack.  Walking poles optional, but useful.
