Via Ferrata

This special secret treasure is hidden from most people, but not among rock climbers! This popular site is known among climbers from within and from out of Israel. The cliff has many different routes to choose from, which is great for both beginners and advanced rock climbers. The great part is that you will meet other rock climbers and can enjoy the extreme climbing atmosphere all around you. While you are here, you'll also be able to enjoy the other great activities located at this site, such as rappelling (with awesome views!), and doing the famous "Via Ferrata." Come join us for an awesome day of climbing at this beautiful site. And to boot, this site is completely shaded in the afternoon hours, so it's perfect even in the summer!We start our expedition with a short downhill hike towards the magnificent cliff nicknamed "Liar Cliff" by its many rock climbing and sports enthusiast fans (ask your tour guide why!). Just standing at the top of the cliff is a visual sensation, with one of the most breathtaking views in all of Israel. After taking in the view, we start our adventure by rappelling down the cliff all the way to the bottom. Since the rappelling is not too intimidating, it is a great place to step into your confidence. Once we have all rappelled to the bottom of the cliff, we will continue on to a very unique activity called Via Ferrata. Via Ferrata, ("Iron Path") is an Italian term for an extremely fun sport that is new to Israel and can only be done here at this site! After receiving special equipment from your guide, you will walk on the face of the rock by using cables, rungs, and metal handles, using an already built-in climbing course that is full of fun and adventure. The Via Ferrata path leads us to a spacious lookout that gives you a birds eye view of the scenery around and gives you visual access to hills many tourists have never seen before. Your will feel like a flying bird as you look down towards the Hula valley below, the Mount Hermon in front of us, and the Golan Heights expanding endlessly towards the south. It is truly an awe-inspiring experience that will make this tour the highlight of your time here in Israel. When we finish the Via Ferrata course, we will find ourselves at the bottom of the cliff and here we'll have free rock climbing time where you can rock climb at any level and pace you choose. We will start with a warm up on one of the easy routes and slowly, according to your ability, move to more advanced routes and so on until you can't move your fingers!After this great adventure, we will continue on with a short drive to a nearby fortress built by ancient crusaders called the Hunin Fortress ("Castellum Novum"). You will have the option to enjoy the very hidden and impressive fortress with big rooms and giant stones with lots of ancient history. During the summer, we have the option of climbing down a ladder to the water tank that is hidden under the fortress where you can even go for a swim! What cooler ending is there to a hot summer's day?!Estimated time: 4.5 -7 hours.
