Hiking

From the east you can ascend via the snake path to Massada, the mule track overcomes around 350 meters in altitude to the plateau. You should plan a good hour of walking and not underestimate the temperatures. If the conditions are too extreme, climbing is prohibited. Admission is discounted on the snake path.

Hiking

If possible, you should take the footpath. An absolute highlight is the sunrise on the mountain.

Hiking

About 700 steps lead 350 m up to the rock fortress, a bit of physical fitness is required here and definitely good shoes.👠🚫
