Fun easy trail with fast descents and some fast and fun rock sections. There are some medium difficulty climbs, can get pretty loose in summer.

Medium difficulty, some rocky climbs, not much flow except for the last section. Beautiful views especially on the second half. Very dry, really...

      הרבה הרס מאופנועים. נפערו בורות ליד סלעים בולטות. השביל לא זורם כראוי. דורש טיפול תחזוקתי מקיף.
