Pinsteps. Salvia on Gita's via ferrata
Places to visit in Янух-Джат. Languages: en, ru

The name "Salvia" comes from the Latin word "salvage," which means "to heal," reflecting the plant's traditional medicinal uses. Salvia has been used for centuries in herbal medicine to treat various ailments, including inflammation, fever, and anxiety.

Salvia is a common plant in the karst fields of the Gita stream's northern shore because it is well-adapted to the dry and rocky conditions of the area. It is also a hardy and low-maintenance plant, which makes it a popular choice for landscaping in arid regions.

The beauty of Salvia has been celebrated in literature and poetry throughout history. In his poem "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd," American poet Walt Whitman describes the plant's blossoms as "large, delicious, and full," while British poet John Keats wrote in his poem "Endymion" that the Salvia's "purple spikes of bloom" were a symbol of beauty and love. Other writers have praised the plant's fragrance, which is sweet and aromatic.

Via Ferrata near Yanuh-Jat and Gita Stream of Mar 25, 2023

Yanuh-Jat is a Druze village located on the northern slopes of the Gita Stream in the Western Galilee region. The town has a rich history, dating back to the early 18th century when Druze settlers founded it. The village has a unique culture and way of life, strongly emphasising family and community.

As we embarked on the Via Ferrata adventure along the northern shore of Gita Stream, we were immediately struck by the stunning views of the Beit HaKerem valley natural reserve. The reserve is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including olive groves, fruit trees, untouched forests with common oak and Israeli terebinth, Mediterranean buckthorn, Syrian maple, carob, Mediterranean rosemary, Nazareth iris, and river vegetation such as sedge, reed, and tamarisk.

As we climbed higher along the karst cliffs, we were treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The rugged terrain and winding stream below us gave us a sense of adventure and exhilaration. We crossed bridges and other obstacles, using the Via Ferrata's fixed cable and other safety features to help us navigate the steep terrain.

The zip line was an incredibly thrilling part of the adventure, allowing us to soar over the Gita Stream and take in the panoramic views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The combination of extreme sports and stunning natural beauty made for an unforgettable experience that left us feeling alive and invigorated.

Overall, the Via Ferrata adventure along the northern shore of Gita Stream was a perfect blend of physical challenge and natural beauty. We felt a deep connection to the land and the people who call it home and left with a newfound appreciation for the power of nature and the spirit of adventure.
