That’s correct- that was our mission- “to the bat cave.” I came with an active eleven year old. This hike can be done in two directions, and I’ve done it a number of times, and from both directions. This time, Friday 9 April 2021, we did the classic famous and shorter hike, which is an in/out hike from the parking lot opposite the village of Zanoach (“neglected”) and adjacent to the expanding city of Bet Shemesh. It’s half an hour on a straight path narrow trail which is strewn with boulders and trees, so there is climbing on and over them and negotiating the trail- not difficult. There are support poles as a metal banister to grab at three different places along the way. This is a popular trail, and there have been people coming in both directions every time that I have hiked this. The trail is narrow- one person at a time: so stand at the side and don your Corona mask. Even though it was April, the park rangers had not yet opened the bat cave to the public (it is closed in the winter for hibernation of those mammals). Despite that, we could see and hear that some fellows had violated the chains closing the entrance and were disturbing the animals. We continued for five minutes past the bat cave and came to the secret but famous rock formation that functions as a perfect natural rock carved fast and slippery sliding board for children, and a certain anonymous and always unnamed 66 year old who just happened to be there when “I visited this place.” We continued for twenty minutes beyond the rock sliding board- it quickly becomes even narrower, with shrubbery almost occluding and obscuring the path. This path goes uphill all the way to Ness Harim (“Mountains Miracle”). Of course then the reverse one way several hour trail is from Ness Harim to the parking lot which was our starting point. We returned by turning around and retracing our steps. I have a number of photos of this. First note the herd of sheep led by local Bedouin, whose camp can’t be far. Next- note the warning sign regarding valuables left in the car- this is an unattended hidden and not visible to others parking lot, even though there is regular tourist and visitors hiker traffic on a regular day and especially weekends and holidays. We, for example, chose to park at the exit from route 3855, so that our car remained visible to others on that active road. That added a ten minutes walk each way on a wide dirt car path. I included many scenic photos- I do find it quite attractive... it always reminds of White Oak Falls in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia... even though there are no water falls. I also included photos of the HarryD family that we passed in the other direction during our journey. We also passed a few adults struggling with several children all under age six- some of them did not succeed. I’d be happy to do this not difficult for me hike again. I sure hope that you find this review and attached photos to be “helpful.”

7. Simon Wiesenthal Path in Martyrs' Forest
The Simon Wiesenthal Path was established by the KKL to commemorate the legacy of Simon Wiesenthal who dedicated his life to bring Nazis and their collaborators to justice. The Path was inaugurated on the 10th Jahrzeit of Simon Wiesenthal on the 3rd of September 2015. It is in the vicinity of the Anne Frank Memorial. Simon Wiesenthal found the gestapo officer who arrested Anne Frank´s family.
