I left the camping at the Kineret early to try to get as much walking done before the heat (forecast was 38 degrees!) My plan was to try and get as high as possible where the temperature would be lower.
I soon arrived at the entrance to Nahal Amud (the Amud river) which I would follow for the rest of the day. At the beginning, there was no water
but soon there stared to be water. in the stream, and lots of tiny frogs!
In the distance, you can see the Amud (pillar) that the stream is named after.
The path was quite pleasant, and the weather was still not that hot
The path passes by extremely steep steps (locked off), part of the water carrier
The river was dry for the next section with less cover
After crossing under the 85 road, the water returned, and the walk was more challenging (mostly inside a canyon), with pegs in some parts to help climbing
The path went past old abandoned buildings which were used previous in the wool industry
The temperate was a little cooler up here, and the path reached the Sechvi pools, for another great chance to cool off. We came here also last year on a family trip.
After a long break, I continued along the track
finally reaching the "pitul" (bend) campground where I finished for the day.
After chatting with the other hikers (including some from Germany), I took the short walk to Meron where I got a few buses back home.
