Embark on an exhilarating BTT adventure starting at the Wingate Institute in Netanya, traversing diverse terrains towards Ramat Hadassa. This route will take you through the scenic Center District, ascend to the maximum elevation point at Derech haYaar, Yokneam Illit in the North District, and conclude in Ramat Hadassa, Haifa District.

The journey begins near the Wingate Institute, a hub of athletic training, setting a dynamic tone for your ride. As you pedal, you'll encounter varied landscapes, from smooth paths to more challenging, potentially rocky trails as you approach Yokneam Illit. The ascent to Derech haYaar will test your endurance, offering rewarding panoramic views of the Jezreel Valley Regional Council and the surrounding natural reserves like Shmurat Teva Sh'ar Poleg and Shmurat Teva Nahal Poleg. Here, the terrain might become steeper, requiring a good climbing technique and a focus on maintaining momentum.

Throughout your ride, you’ll pass by various leisure areas and natural spots, offering moments of respite or scenic beauty. Keep an eye out for areas like 2 North and 2 South in Netanya, which hint at the urban fringe you'll be leaving behind. As you near Yokneam Illit, you'll find spots like Park Professor Nathan Rosen, a pleasant area to perhaps pause. The culmination in Ramat Hadassa offers a different perspective of the Haifa District.
