Itinerary description
Hike starts at Hekal -Kryezi Road (tracking was turned on a bit later). Go down the dirt path until you reach the irrigation stream then start to follow it.
Cross the tunnel and enter the forest. After a while take a sharp right on a small steep path to reach the canyon itself. This section is a bit technical, some scrambling is needed and the boulders might be slippery. The path now is marked with red marks. After crossing the river there will be a short exposed section this where you can climb down to the canyon pools and the waterfall to take a swim. Finally follow the marked trail back through the forest until you see some cables and wires above the riverbed. This is where you have to cross the river again. Climb down to the riverbed on a steep path and cross the stream. Cross an orchard and you will find a path that leads up to the tunnel.
Unfortunately there is more and more rubbish in the canyon. Mostly beer cans... I encourage you to pick up some and take back it with you.
