a hike that will cost you an arm and a leg.


Only in Israel can you find a hiking trail leading you through a mine field.

For your information, someone is killed or injured by a landmine every 15 - 20 minutes. According to the U.N. there are between 105 - 110 million landmines buried in over 64 countries. A low estimate states that some 24,000 men, women and children are killed by landmines every year.

It has been said that the leading cause deaths among children worldwide is not starvation, but landmines.
