This trail is called the Caesar's Road or, more precisely, it runs below, and we will join it. It was an important road from Jerusalem to Beit Govrin during Roman times. It is believed that Emperor Hadrian ascended to Jerusalem via this road in 130 AD, and ancient Roman milestones mentioning the emperor were found nearby, hence the modern name Caesar's Road.
This short walk through the Ela Valley and the slopes of the central highlands will reveal the history of the place, from biblical prophets to Roman emperors. Important trade routes from the valley to Jerusalem have always passed through here, and this was the border of Judea. We will encounter intriguing sites like the battlefield of David and Goliath, the possible tomb of Goliath, and many other stories of this fascinating area.
