EIN AVDAT NATIONAL PARK

Natural site to discover

Lower Entrance (side entrance Midreshet Ben Gurion)

The trail is easy to the water drop that flows all year round and flows into a basin. On the walls of the canyon, traces of other more ephemeral falls are visible. It was these waterfalls that eroded the rock and formed the gorges. In some places, caves were used by monks in Byzantine times. From the lower basin, you can go back to the top of the cliff or climb to the top of the cliff with ladders that are mounted in the rock (closed access in case of bad weather). This passage is not recommended for older children and elderly people. You can reach the plateau from where you have a superb view on the canyon. Attention, it is forbidden to go back once the ascent is undertaken (6,5 km).

Upper Entrance (entrance side Ovda National Park)

This access makes it possible to take a walk on the plateau from which the water is flowing during heavy rain in the bottom of the park. The trail is well signposted and easily accessible. You can't get down in the gorge by the built ladders because these are only usable in the Lower Entrance-Upper Gate.
