BTT from Kramim School to Horshan mt. (Alona Regional Council)

Embark on an exhilarating Mountain Biking adventure starting and ending at Kramim School in Binyamina - Givat Ada. This route takes you to the highest point at Horshan mt. in the Alona Regional Council, offering a dynamic experience through varied terrain.

The journey begins with a smooth start from Kramim School, setting a moderate pace. As you ascend towards Horshan mt., the path becomes more challenging, featuring rocky sections and steeper climbs. You'll navigate through picturesque landscapes, potentially passing by historical sites like Tel Tzur monument and the natural beauty of Nahal Daliya. The terrain transitions from packed dirt trails to more technical singletrack, demanding good bike handling skills and a steady rhythm.

The maximum elevation at Horshan mt. offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding hills and valleys, a rewarding sight after the strenuous effort. This section requires a good level of fitness, with an accumulated elevation gain of around 140 meters spread across approximately 28 kilometers. Expect to spend about 2.5 hours in motion, averaging around 10 km/h. The trail is designed for intermediate to advanced riders, so be prepared for uphill bursts and descents that require concentration and control. Remember to maintain good posture and use your gears effectively to conserve energy.

As you descend from the higher elevations, the route might lead you through areas near Shmurat Allona or ‘En ‘Ammiqam, offering a different perspective of the region. The minimum elevation point near Elize Hall in Binyamina - Givat Ada signifies a return to gentler terrain before completing the loop.

For those seeking more challenges, consider exploring the trails around Mey Kedem, known for its natural springs and scenic paths, or the roads leading towards Zikhron Yaakov, which offer additional scenic routes and historical points of interest like HaShita and Wingate.
