Hike Description:
- Starting Point: Parking lot at the entrance to the Yehudia National Park (Entrance fee required).
- Take the green trail heading northwest, towards the Zavitan stream.
- At the intersection with the red marked trail turn right.
After a short while, turn left and go down to the stream bed following now black markers. You are now inside the Gorge of Nahal Zavitan.
An adventure Detour
Turn right and go upstream without any marked trail. In some sections, it is more scrambling than walking. After about half an hour of managing the rocks and bushes, your way is blocked with a big pool and a tall cascade that you cannot pass. this is the end of the famous “Black Gorge”. A perfect spot for an extended break! The big advantage is that you have a good chance to be there without any crowds. Retrace your steps to the black marked trail
- Turn left and hike downstream along the Black marked trail. The trail crosses the stream several times and in some sections, caution is required.
- After a while, you will reach a junction with a red marked trail. You can turn left go back up to the parking. Or make another very attractive detour to the Nataf Spring.
