Our Achievements: 2020

During this year we also continued to mark trails, and we particularly focused on maintaining the markings on existing trails.

​

The main changes made along the long trails were that the Israel National Trail was redirected through Dora Pond in Netanya, and the Golan Trail was redirected across Mt. Avital.

​

In 2020, after three years of work, we completed a set of maps in a new, rectangular format that is easy to fold down to pocket size.

We apportioned different areas between this set of maps, so that more heavily hiked areas with multiple trails would not be spread across two maps – for example, the area of Map 14 covers both the large crater and the small crater. This reorganization also reduced the total number of maps; in the new set there are 17 maps, while in the old one there were 19. Likewise, the new maps have a new laminate coating.

​

In 2020, with the accelerated transition to digital tools, we began selling the maps online through the eventbuzz platform and WallaShops. This process allows us to reach new audiences, and increase our sales and profits.

​

What will the next year bring? We plan on:

• Continuing our work to distance the Israel trail from roads, extend the trail to Mt. Hermon, and make additional improvements to the route.

• Marking new trails in the Mt. Arif area, the Nitzana area, the Lower Galilee, and other areas.

• Maintaining the markings along existing trails.

• Publishing an updated 2021 edition for a number of maps.
