Description

Start: Parking of Ben Gurion grave, Midreshet Ben Gurion End: Parking of Ben Gurion grave, Midreshet Ben Gurion Variation 1: The route can be shorten by exiting from Ein Akev north toward Nahal Tzin and from there west toward the Serpentines nightcamp which is under the starting point Variation 2: Run the route in the opposite direction and then it makes also sense to stop by the Bedouin camp Kahn Akev toward the end Advantages:  A flowing line and non technical.

One can dip in Ein Akev.

Public transportation is available Disadvantages: Ein Akev can have many hikers.

Running up Tzin Ascent is along a jeep road
