A non-paved country road leads to the parking lot. The way passes through the village of Karmey Yosef. Along the way, there are signs with the inscription "Tel Gezer." A hiking trail rises to the hill. The climb is not steep, and as you climb, a beautiful view of the valley opens. You can continue the trip by car to the top of the hill. But in this way, you will lose the feeling of approaching up the city, which is so essential for the ancient traveler, which was ascending into the town in the head of a caravan. By the way, we approach the city from the old route from Egypt.
A walk along Tel Gezer reveals the most unexpected and amazing moments of the distant past. The oldest Hebrew inscription was found here. The giant pagan altar of Canaan was found here. The city gates of the times of King Solomon were found here. Spring is the best time for walking. A green carpet of lush grass covers the hill slopes, and trails lead to the cold waters of a natural spring in the middle of wheat fields.
Don't be afraid to get lost in new places!
