Israel National Trail Part 2 - Tel Chai to Koach Fort

Hiking

The trail begins at the Roaring Lion monument which was erected in memory of the fallen warriors in the battle for Tel Chai. One of these warriors was Joseph Trumpeldor, a national hero. The trail then continues towards route 9977, crosses the road and heads eastward for about 200 meters along a leveled trail. Before reaching the Tel Chai College, turn onto a short trail and head down to a path dotted with statues. Turn right to continue west. This area belongs to the Tel Chai statue park, where artists create their works of art on site and leave them there for the public to enjoy.
