Mountain biking
At the top of the ascent stands a monument in the shape of a turret (the symbol of the Israeli Corps of Engineers) that was built for "Operation Arava", in which the Corps of Engineers paved the road in 1950. Above the monument, at the top of the observatory, is a memorial plaque commemorating those murdered in the Ma'ale Akrabim massacre that occurred on March 17, 1954. Twelve of the bus passengers were shot and killed by terrorists.
