This tour offers real whole day hikes, such as the famous “Sea to Sea” trek, combined with cultural sites such as the Montfort Castle, the holiest Druze shrine, Nabi Sabalan, or Safed, the center of Jewish Mysticism. Those day-hikes and the close contact to nature don't mean that we give up the comfort: All the hikes can be reached by regular cars, so that we can offer this tour to groups in a bus or even in your own rented car. We sleep in typical hotels for this area, such as Kibbutz Guestrooms, a Druze family, or Field Schools. This tour can also be combined with the “Central Israel Nature & Culture Hiking Tour” or parts thereof. Day 1: We start at Rosh Hanikra, right by the Lebanese Border. Here we walk through some natural grottoes, carved by the sea in the white chalk rock. Then we hike through the tunnel and on the old tracks of the Haifa-Beirut railroad. We hike along the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, till we reach the ruins of Achziv, an ancient Phoenician city. Here we start our traditional “Sea to Sea” trek, where we will hike all the way from the Mediterranean Sea to the Sea of Galilee. Students and scouts use to fill here a bottle of salt water from the Mediterranean Sea, carry it with them on their hikes and then mix it with sweet water from the Sea of Galilee. We walk into Nachal (Wadi) Keziv and ascend through a dense forest up to the ancient Crusader fortress Montfort. We descend to the Wadi through a path built by the British police to track the smugglers from French Lebanon, and climb up to the Goren Park, where our car awaits us. Day 2: From the Goren Park we continue through the valley of Keziv and to the “Hidden Spring” – Ein Tamir. After some more hiking through Nachal Keziv we ascend to Mezad Abirim, a little Crusader Fort, where the Carmel Deer were set free into nature. Here we end the day. Day 3: Today we hike up through a dense wood to the Druze village Hurfeish, where we visit one of the holiest places for the Druze: Nabi Sabalan. Here we meet some Druze people, and learn about their unique, secret religion, and their special way of life. Then we hike down to the fertile Hiram Valley, and up the slopes of Mt. Meron, through Nachal (Wadi) Neriya. We can spend the night in the Har Meron Field School, which is right on our trail, or with a Druze family in the village Beit Jan. Day 4: At Khirbet Hamama, where we ended yesterdays hike, we continue to climb to the summit of Mt. Meron that used to be the highest mountain in Israel until the Six-Day-War. We hike around its summit on the famous “Summit Path” from which we can enjoy the round-and-about view of the Upper Galilee. We end the day by hiking down the mountain to visit the Tomb of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai – a sacred place for the Jews. Day 5: If the dense forest has not covered it yet, we can hike to the ruins of the ancient synagogue at Khirbet Shema. From here we continue down along Nachal Meron until we reach Ein Yakim, a spring that enriches the area with a large amount of sweet water. The huge quantities of water that flow here during all of the year, create a prosperous ecosystem with some rare trees and shrubs.  We then ascend to the spiritual city of Zefat (Safed), the center of the Jewish Mysticism – The Kabala. We spend the rest of the afternoon strolling along the narrow lanes of Safed, entering its synagogues, breathing its special atmosphere and listening to its legends, stories, and tales.
