Trekking and Hiking

​The website www.haifatrail.com/haifa-trail-segments-eng.htm provides information on trekking and hiking routes in Haifa.

Haifa is the place and the reason for conceiving the idea of a real, whole, urban trek. Not just a cover phrase for a limited walking tour, but a comprehensive trail, which links the city's various areas, through the shore and the mountain, the wild green Wadis and the meandering streets and alleys, through religious sites and communities living in coexistence, parks and hanging gardens. The 70 Kilometers trail route passes through the city's best museums and academic institutes, thus enables to experience an outdoor as well as indoor urban experience.
