BTT Mitzpe Ramon to Ramat Negev

Embark on an exhilarating MTB adventure starting from Mitzpe Ramon, a unique town in the Negev desert. Your journey will take you through diverse terrains, reaching its peak elevation near Sderot KKL before descending towards the Ramat Negev Regional Council. This route offers approximately 40 km of challenging yet rewarding cycling.

The ride begins in the captivating landscape surrounding Mitzpe Ramon, known for its proximity to the Mitzpe Ramon crater. As you pedal, you'll encounter a mix of rocky trails and smooth dirt paths, typical of the Beersheba Subdistrict's desert environment. The ascent to Sderot KKL will test your endurance, with an accumulated elevation gain of around 400 meters. Here, the challenging inclines require a good body posture and efficient gear usage.

The lowest point of your ride will be near the Sde Boker Midrsha cycleway, a serene area offering a different perspective of the landscape.
