In the Footsteps of Gush Etzion – From Saddle Hill to Rosh Tzurim
Saddle Hill (Ukaf Hamuchtar)- a lovely view from the top of Saddle Hill, the site of two key battles in May 1948, and of a new neighborhood of Kfar Etzion founded recently. A visit to the new farm located on the western slope of Saddle Hill.
Massuot Yitzchak – An interesting walk in the area of the kibbutz Massuot Yitzchak which was founded here eighty-one years ago. Besides the few remains of the kibbutz, we will go to see the spring and walk to the two defense outposts- Givat Olga and Givat Jum- Jum.
Rosh Tzurim – We will conclude the day in kibbutz Rosh Tzurim which was founded exactly eighty years ago. A short walk to the small spring which served as a source of water for the kibbutz, a visit to the new neighborhoods of the kibbutz and an inspiring view from the lookout overlooking the recently renovated path of the Patriarchs.
