Touring

 

Led again by our fantastic guide Roni Ofri

Monday, November 3 – Northern Landscapes and Quiet Beginnings

We begin our journey in the tranquil Hula Valley, a haven of natural beauty and renewal.

  • Touring riders will cycle through the wetlands and open skies of Agamon Hula, one of Israel’s most breathtaking nature reserves.

  • Touring walkers will enjoy a curated visit to the Hula Experience, offering a rich mix of nature, history, and wildlife.

  • Midday, all participants will meet at Tzomet Menahem and travel by bus to the historic town of Rosh Pina.

  • There, we’ll explore this early Zionist settlement and end with a powerful moment at Nimrod Lookout—an observation point named in memory of fallen soldier Nimrod Segev, offering sweeping views of the Hula Valley, Mount Hermon, and the Galilee. It is a place of reflection, courage, and connection to the land.

  • We’ll gather for lunch at Tel Kalil Farm, surrounded by pastoral landscapes and local hospitality.

  • After lunch, we visit the sculpture garden in Kfar Szold, where art and nature intertwine.

  • We return to the Galilion Hotel to rest and prepare for the days ahead.

Tuesday, November 4 – History, Heights, and the Golan

Today, we explore the stories and sites that define the Golan’s strength and spirit.

  • Touring riders will start from the imposing Nimrod Fortress, one of the most impressive medieval sites in the Middle East, and ride through the rugged terrain of the northern Golan.

  • Touring walkers will enjoy a full tour of Nimrod Fortress, with its sweeping vistas and centuries-old stonework.

  • All groups will gather at Mount Ben Tal, a dormant volcano turned Israeli outpost, rich with history and panoramic views across the Syrian border.

  • We’ll then visit the Old 77 outpost, overlooking the Valley of Tears, one of the most fateful battle sites of the Yom Kippur War. Here, a vastly outnumbered group of Israeli tank soldiers held the line in a desperate and heroic stand. The visit offers a powerful reminder of resilience and sacrifice in the face of overwhelming odds.

  • Lunch will be served at Ben Tal’s mountaintop café, surrounded by history and breathtaking views.

  • We’ll return to the Galilion Hotel for a well-earned evening of rest.

Wednesday, November 5 – Along the Water’s Edge

A day of contrasts—spiritual heritage, ancient ruins, and the legacy of modern borders.

  • Touring riders begin from the ancient Talmudic era village of Korazin and ride along the shoreline of the Sea of Galilee, finishing at Tzemach Junction.

  • Touring walkers explore Korazin’s rich archaeological past and continue on a meaningful walking tour through Kfar Nahum, an ancient fishing village. While today the site is associated with Christianity, the truth is that it was an ancient Jewish village, including the ruins of one of the oldest Synagoigues in the world.  

  • All participants reconvene at Tzemach and travel together to Mitzpe Gesher HaMa’aravi, where the borders of Israel, Lebanon, and Syria converge.

  • We will explore preserved military bunkers and hear the stories of resilience and defense that echo from this landscape.

  • Lunch will be held at Kursi National Park, a peaceful site overlooking the Kinneret.

  • We return to the Galilion Hotel for our final night together in the North.

Thursday, November 6 – A Journey Completed

The road leads south, from inspiration to impact.

  • We depart Galilion by bus and travel to Jerusalem, stopping at Latrun, home of Israel’s Armored Corps Memorial and Museum—a moving tribute to the soldiers who fought to open the road to Jerusalem.

  • After lunch at Bar B Har, riders will begin the ceremonial ride into ALYN Hospital.

  • All others will travel by bus to meet them at the finish line for a meaningful celebration of everything we’ve accomplished together.
