Israel National Trail, Long-distance hiking trail across Israel
The Israel National Trail is a long-distance hiking route in Israel stretching roughly 1,000 kilometers from Dan in the north to Eilat in the south. The path crosses mountain regions, desert sections, and coastal areas, linking different types of terrain across the country.
Two journalists founded this network of paths in 1995 by connecting existing routes together. Their project linked numerous archaeological sites and historic settlement locations along the entire distance.
The route takes its name from the country itself and passes through settlements of different kinds, including agricultural communities and urban neighborhoods. Walkers often meet locals along the way who share stories about life in the region and sometimes offer accommodation.
The best months for walking fall between October and April when temperatures are more moderate. In the dry sections, hikers should carry enough water and plan food supplies ahead of time.
The markings consist of three colors: white, blue, and orange, painted on rocks and trees along the route. Some sections pass through areas where rock formations change their shades depending on the time of day.
