This is an out and back trail from Tiberas Forest to the Yardenit (יער טבריה לירדנית). The trail itself can also be done as a point to point trail to reduce half of the distance.
Tiberias Forest (also known as the Swiss Forest) is on the edge of the Syrian-African rift, on the slope descending from the Poria plateau to Tiberias and the Sea of Galilee. The forest itself was planted with the aid of the Jewish community in Switzerland, which is where it gets it name. Throughout the forest and the Yardenit are various scenery, campsites, lookouts, hiking trails, picnic tables and even play facilities for children.
