In the Footsteps of the Knights: Fortresses, Wine and Grottoes
For couples, friends and families with teens. A full day.
A day of history, dramatic scenery and Galilee flavors. Follow in the footsteps of the knights who lived in the Galilee centuries ago, discover a mysterious fortress above Nahal Kziv, stop in a picturesque village and finish by the sea.
1. Montfort Fortress
A hike through Mediterranean woodland and the remains of a Crusader fortress, above the Nahal Kziv views. Reaching the fortress itself involves a strenuous walk and a climb back up, and a shorter viewpoint over the fortress is an alternative.
2. Julia Winery
A visit to a family winery with a tasting of 3 different wines, by advance arrangement.
3. The alleys of Mi'ilya
A stroll through the Christian village, among its stone houses, the church and the remains of the old fortress.
4. Rosh Hanikra tourist site
Finish with the cable car and the sea grottoes.
For the route that includes the descent to Montfort, set aside a full day and start early.
