We came to Yeruham last week with a varied group aged 2.5 till 82, and although some family members were skeptical (what is there to do in Yeruham?) EVERYONE left with a smile. Each of the family members found their place and enjoyed both the experience and the outcome, thanks to Keren and Daniel's care, attention and professionalism. We made a bunch of woodcrafts ranging from owls to flowerpots (more percisely, cactuspots) to trucks, and had a very special time. It was a unique workshop that gave us quality time to simply be ourselves, create, think, and design, in the most welcoming, warm and inviting atmosphere. Thank you Keren and Daniel!

A month ago, my grown son and I went on our bi-annual, extreme hike. As is the case in all our hikes, it was an epic, life adventure. This time we travelled down to the desert in the south of the country, to the Central Negev, to explore the desert in the area of the Big Crater (Machtesh HaGadol), including climbing up two of Israel’s tallest, steepest, ascents - the Palmach ascent with ladders and handholds and narrow ledges, and the Big Fin, the main ascent to the top of the Big Crater. The hike was 18 kilometers (11 miles) and took us 9 hours to do. As usual, it was a totally awesome, worthwhile experience, and as usual, the pictures we took don’t capture the real beauty of the cliffs, canyons, mountains and the crater itself. We parked our car at the Oron Phosphorus factory and ordered a cab which took us to the dirt parking lot and trail head ("green" trail) of the Yamin Stream. We followed the Yamin Stream southward, passing natural, rock-hewn pools of water, passing huge 30-meter deep cracks in the mountainside, and passing a massive 50-meter high, dry waterfall until we came to the Hatira Stream (the stream that flows out of the Big Crater) which flows from west to east and empties into the Dead Sea. We followed the Hatira Stream westward for about 2 kilometers (1.25 miles) until we came to another 50-meter high rock wall, another impassable waterfall. At this point the trail veers to the left and we began to climb the interesting Palmach Ascent, which included climbing up metal ladders, hand-holds and railings all attached to the rock face of the steep, rocky, southern wall of the stream. We continued westward pass the beautiful Yorkean Spring, which was crowded with swimmers until we came to our spare water bottles that we had hid alongside Highway 206. We then crossed the highway and headed up the side of the Big Crater on a very steep rocky ridge called the Big Fin because from the distance it does look like the fin on the back of a fish. In reality, it is one of the “ribs” of the crater and looks more like a rib than a fin if you ask me. At the top of the crater, we had a phenomenal, breathtaking 360-degree view of the surrounding desert and the entire circle of the crater, including the lone opening (gap) in the crater that is common to all the craters in this desert (which a million years ago had allowed water that had collected in the crater to flow out and down towards the Dead Sea). We then turned south, walking along the lip of the crater with fantastic views of the inside of the crater, and finally, the trail turned eastward and down the crater back to the highway. We walked the two kilometers back to our car along the side of the highway and finally arrived at the car just as it got dark. We were exhausted, but exhilarated! This hike is a definite MUST DO for desert and nature lovers!

Nature at its best! There's a 30 minute challenging hike to the natural pool, but if we seniors could do it anyone can. If you're into swimming in very cold water at least bring towels :-) Don't expect to find any kiosk, cafes or restaurants anywhere near. Bring drinking water.

Hello fellow travelers ???????? I've stopped here on the way from Hamaktesh Hagadol to Ramon Crater for a quick brunch. Lots of picnic tables in a wooded shaded area, restrooms with flush toilets and a pond, make this place extremely appealing for a fun stop when traveling. This place is also suitable for free tent camping. There's a path to stroll around the pond and a store for bike rental at the entrance. If you r in the area, stop for a look-see
