Everything was nearly perfect, we decide to take tent with us, so we camp on the way, lots of animals jackals, antelopes and others. Only big disappointment for us was habit to throw trash out from town, was really disgusting close to some towns near nathareth
So my guess is this got the "hard" tag due to its length, as otherwise it's moderate. Roads are comfy enough for 4x4 let alone hiking. First segment is in parallel to a highway so meh. Otherwise nice and peaceful forrest setting. Even saw some antelopes! Mote that I preferred to park in Eshtaol and walk a bit more for a safer parking.
We did this hike last week (May 14 - May 17 2019). It was an awesome challenge/experience for my wife and I who are in our early 60's. What made it a little more difficult than normal is the weather was in the low 100's each day. Made sure you bring plenty of water. We consumed at least 3 liters each day. May weather can be unpredictable. I recommend March or late fall. The total for our hike was ~50 miles due to getting lost a few times. Each day we hiked ~12 miles. We were in a small group so that helped. The Inns that we stayed each night were great (Fauzi Azar, Cana Wedding House, Lavi Hotel and Arbel cabins) and the food served was excellent and will not leave anyone hungry. It was also a great culture experience because 2 of the inns where Arab and 2 were Jewish. We had a guide and still got a little lost a few times, but we saw others on the trail without guides who made it to the end.
Great multiple day hike through the Galilee region!
Loved hiking this with friends but the first 1/4 of the trail leaving Nazareth to Zippori is not well marked. Spent a lot of time trying to figure out if we were on the actual trail or not. Don’t let that deter you though. The first 1/4 was beautiful. Make sure you have walking sticks though. We were trailed by a pack of dogs for a good while. The trail leaving to Zippori to Cana was breathtaking.
