Via Prata in a high ridge
The Via Prata routes are an import from the Italian language and their meaning is a trip along the route there are steel cables to which the travelers connect in order to pass through points with a risk of falling or slipping. This type of route, whose name means iron roads, named after the cables used for it, is very common in the world, and in Israel, such a route has been prepared on a ridge above the Hula Reserve. To move forward, one of the highlights of the route is a cliff at a height of 20 meters which must be descended by abseiling in order to move forward on the route.
