    Sweetest water in Israel

    We had an amazing time hiking the short and easy trail to Nahal David. We stopped several times on the way, taking pictures and enjoying the little waterfalls leading all the way up. Looking forward to go here again.

    Waterfalls are worth the Hike

    My tour bus stopped at the Min Gedi Nature reserve. After a cold beer, proceeded to hike to the 3 waterfalls. Dis some soaking in the water and enjoyed the views from high up.

    We drove from Jerusalem. This area is near the Dead Sea and is usually visited before or after visiting the Dead Sea. Worth the stop.
