Running in Tzfat
In Tzfat, I finally got to do some trail running. Plus we were at an altitude of almost 3000 ft above sea level. Most hotels and AirBnbs are located in or near the old town/artists quarter, which is at the very top of Tzfat. So, you run down and then have to run up to return. To give you an idea of what that’s like, I did a 5 mile run with a total elevation change of 1400 feet! There was no flat trail; it was either uphill or downhill. The trail starts at the ‘bottom’ of the artists quarter – it’s shown on the map as Ninio Street. You pass a few abandoned structures and a playground. There are several switchbacks (see red circle on map) and a variety of offshoots from the trail, including a cemetery. It’s a beautiful run to do especially around sunrise.
