Finjan is heading up north for a weekend of hiking, swimming and some Galilean relaxation. Join us for a two day excursion as we explore some of the Upper Galilee’s most beautiful pastures – flowing streams, lush mountain scapes and an evening of camping.
The western Galilee is one of Israel’s precious gems and features rich history, Mediterranean woodlands and a plethora of distinct population groups. During our 2-day excursion, we will get a better look at the area’s fascinating history and its unique cultural elements that have contributed to making this one of the Israel’s most unique regions.
Our first day will include 3-4 hours of hiking and exploring different parts of the Kziv River Gorge – one of the north’s more beautiful streams. We will then spend the evening camping – you can cook your own food in the kitchen facilities that we will provide. There will also be a bonfire to take us through the evening,
The second day will continue through the Kziv River Gorge with more swimming in one of the only streams that has water throughout the entire year. We will be surrounded by excellent places to cool-off amongst the lush landscapes of the Western Galilee.
During our trip, we will also get a closer look at the Montfort Castle, one of the more special Crusader castles that played a major role in the history of the Teutonic Knights in the Holy Land.
From here we will head back to Tel Aviv and Rehovot to begin the week!
