Hi,
We spent our second day of the family vacation on a short hike to Ein A-Tina spring that lay on the west slopes of Golan Heights towards Hula valley.
The hike is not long, but starts with about 800m of shadow less walk (unless you wish to bet on your field driving skills).
You then get to some Eucalyptus trees where the wet and dry trails starts. On this hot we of course took the wet trail.
You walk up the stream up the pool that gathers the water of the spring. It is partly shadowed but the cold water cover for the heat of the day. It has handrails along part of the trail what makes it easier to walk between the rocks.
Tina in Arabic means figs. And Fig trees loves water. All the way up to the spring (Ein in Arabic) is covered with Fig trees. This explains the name Ein A-Tina (=The fig spring)
When we got to the parking lot we were shocked by the number of cars and the bus that stood there. We hesitated for a moment. It is not only the Corona but the wish to enjoy a quiet hike.
But it was probably the same all over. It is the week before the last of Israel summer vacation. Almost all are on vacation.
Add to this that it is Bein Hazmanim for the Ultra Orthodox, when all the Yeshiva students are on vacation and hike all over Israel and you got the most loaded time to hike. Just add to it the
Add to it the people that the Coronavirus prevented from them to fly off abroad (like us) and you got a most crowded summer vacation 🙂
Take Care
