גבעת התיתורה

This site feels a bit more wild and less cultivated than many of the main archaeological and hiking sites around Israel. We walked up the hill on narrow natural paths that were overgrown with plants in some places, which gave the whole experience a feeling of new discovery. We saw lots of plants and some wildlife, mainly birds and insects.

We didn't make it all the way up to the crusader ruins but enjoyed the view from the south side of the hill toward Jerusalem, and will definitely be back for a longer hike next time to see what we missed.
