Your hosts will cook up a delicious meal to set you up properly for your hike today. Walking through the Beit Keshet Forest and along ancient Roman roads, today’s route will feel tangibly mystical.

The roads between Acre and Tiberias are thought to have been walked on by Jesus on his journey from Nazareth to the Sea of Galilee—and you’re walking in his footsteps! Reach Kibbutz Lavi in the afternoon, where you’ll experience the unique offerings of the kibbutzim faith, including a kosher meal.
