Another Tiyul - Nahal Siah and the Kababir Mosque

By: Rebecca

One of our goals for the fall and winter is go to on more tiyulim around Haifa. We took a step (or 316 of them) toward that goal last week on an exploration of one of Haifa's many wadis.

Called Nahal Siah, this hike starts from a nondescript trail above a school. It is impossible to tell that you are about to enter a lovely stretch of forest, but then suddenly you look up and see no buildings at all! At the end of the hike we had a choice: Walk to the road and take the bus home or, climb the crazy stairs up a steep hill to the Kababir Mosque. Guess which path we chose?

I thought this time I would create a little photo gallery of our hike. If you want to see larger versions of these photos, visit our photo album. Enjoy!

The view from the top - it was worth it!

Can you see the stairs? Look closely
