    Tips

    Walking about a kilometer and a half, the green path descends from the branch and reaches a stone structure with two vaults, called Harvat Shmari. The current building is from the Ottoman period, from the end of the 16th century, and seems to have been used as a warehouse. According to Crusader documents, it is possible that the place also existed 800-900 years ago under the name Asomer. Around the vaulted structure are several caves, some of which were used for construction, and it seems that they were used for living and storage.
