Embark on an exhilarating Mountain Biking adventure starting and ending at Latrun Wines in the Mate Yehuda Regional Council, with a significant ascent towards HaTeena in Kiryat Yearim. This route will test your stamina and technical skills as you navigate approximately 32 kilometers of diverse terrain, experiencing an altitude difference of nearly 500 meters.

Your journey begins at Latrun Wines, a familiar starting point, where you'll find the initial path relatively smooth, perfect for warming up. As you progress, the terrain transforms, introducing you to the rugged beauty of the Mate Yehuda Regional Council. Expect a mix of gravel paths, rocky sections, and some steep climbs as you head towards the highest point of the route in HaTeena. This challenging ascent will require good cardiovascular fitness and a solid descending technique to manage the descents.
