The winter in Israel is definitely too short. So, once we finally have a few drops – one absolutely must set out and view the transformation of the land… it’s magnificent.
This Saturday, we did a fairly easy walk – from the village of Alma (through Katzyon wadi) to Dishon stream. This trail is a linear, ~7 km long and quite easy – with two remarks:
a. Katzyon wadi is quite a steep one. Should you loose the marks (not too hard a thing to do, given the new vegetation in the area) you might find yourself dozens of meters above the trail before you’ll notice you mistake… so just stay at the bottom at all times!
b. Dishon stream is full of water, after the rains. The water covers the trail at some parts, and you need to walk in a knee deep stream. quite fun, actually.
