Pinsteps. Donkey’s Path, Haifa
Places to visit in in Хайфа Languages: en, he, ru

Next to the corner of Yaffe Nof and Sha’ar Halevanon, you’ll find the staircase leading down to Henrietta Szold Street. The route was once called the Donkey’s Path because the donkey caravans carried construction materials in the 1920s and 30s. Pines are scattered between oaks and terebinths (Ela in Hebrew).

1,000 STEPS, HAIFA

If there’s something frustrating about Haifa (and Jerusalem too, for that matter), it is the issue of bicycles. The bicycle, which in Tel Aviv is considered an efficient means of transportation, simply doesn’t work in a city with all slopes and hills. As for those who claim: “nonsense, a little fitness is good for you,” ask them to pedal up Freud Road. That may be why Haifa’s staircases are such an attraction. Dozens connect upper and lower Haifa, helping residents manoeuvre the city. Ironically, the city began developing from the bottom up, starting with Downtown and the German Colony, via Hadar Hacarmel and the neighbourhoods above it to Central Carmel. The staircases offer scenic vantage points, colourful lanes and hidden spots. Instead of wearing yourself out climbing the stairs, proceed from the top and make your way downtown.
