Description

 

Einot tzukim is a great hike to do if you want something close to jerusalem and don't want to travel too far.

The hike involves climbing a steep mountainside to the peak and then coming back down. the scenery of the dead sea is worthy of a postcard.

The climbing is hard and there are plenty of great lookout points along the way, since you'll have to come back down the same way you went up anyway, you can stop anywhere along the way if it gets too hard for some of you.

The hike is free it's about a half hour away and shouldn't take you more then an hour.

It can get unbearably hot in the summer so try to come in winter or at the end of the day.

Another advantage is that there is a bus stop at einot tzukim so people without a car can come here too.
