The Golan trail is a Hiking route about 120 Km long that runs from Mount Hermon at the North of the Golan at an elevation of about 1500 m ASL all the way to the south at about 200 m ASL near the sea of Galilee. It can be tackled from North to South or opposite. The full trail takes between 5 and 10 days depending of the traveler's ability and character. You can backpack and sleep rural, sleep at organized campsites, or in hostels and B&B in villages along the way.
The trail is divided into 15 segments. At the beginning of each segment there is an information board with a map and elevation chart. The whole trail is very well waymarked with a "White/Green/White" 3 stripes marking. (More information of the 15 segment of the Golan Trail).
