 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here. So I received yesterday a couple of GPX files from hiking enthusiast specifically from Ben Elgard. So thank you very much, Ben He sent me on a couple of files. One of them is a professional or you know community GPX file official community one about the Jerusalem Trail another one is the GPX that he recorded himself, but they're pretty much identical so I just went for this one and what I wanted to do was to show those who are interested in the trail right because the mapping online is not super detailed. I have this GPX and the second one I'd be happy to send it over to anyone who wants it was the disclaimer of course that don't rely upon it etc etc Anyway, it's it's a really good good file and you can see exactly so it's a it's a point it's Evan's Appear to Sataf. I just want to show people those interested where it goes so starting out by Evan's Appear the trail loops round by Hadassah and Kerim crosses over comes in through via in Divide Vagan skirts around Sharia Zedek then it crosses through Gansahir actually at some point and the Rose Garden just in front of the Knesset so it's going you know in some parts along streets and then other parts along parks so looping down here from the Bible and Museum in across through Gansahir emerging from Gansahir just before the monastery then it's looping through Talbiyah and just before Hansen House following across to the Orient Hotel and joining up on to Emakrefayim briefly before and this is where I started my YouTube video yesterday actually Yeah, pretty much. This is exactly where I started my YouTube yesterday actually so looping down in through Zurich Garden as I showed on YouTube Then it's continuing through the Hinom Valley and this is again This is now where the Hachavayab bagai experience is right here at this point. So this isn't marked on Google yeah, but it's exactly here. So it's continuing straight through straight through the valley Then this is where I went wrong yesterday in my video is I couldn't figure out where to continue at this point because The valley just kind of ends at this point There's like a church right here, and this is the entrance to the Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan So there is so what you have to do according to the trail map is this is fine This is all navigable on the valley and this is not really Signposted so this would have saved me yesterday. So this is why I'm just sharing this video for public info You need to come up on to the road at this point on to Guyven Hinom Street And then you need to take the left at the entrance to Silwan. It's called Ma'alot Irdavid And you meander along that road passing through the Silwan tunnel. So this is and there is a slight security concern here in the sense that you're basically traveling through Silwan Or at least spreading around Silwan. No, pretty much traveling through Silwan So Ma'alot Irdavid, Derech Shalom passes Guyavu's tunnel. You're going to pass also the Gi'hon Spring, which is cool And then You're so this is how the trail gets around the old city So just to reiterate going through Zurich Garden coming across the Hinom Valley Going through Derech Shalom pass the Gi'hon Street. Now we're already on the east side of the old city and this Actually will lead straight into the valley. So I took a photograph from where was I approximately here the other day Looking down here and what I could see clearly was that this road In Silwan, there's a gate here and it'll just lead straight on to the trail through the valley And that will pass through Abshalom's tomb, which is not I guess it's where the cemetery is here It's about here, I think I think this Path comes off of Shalom's tool. So this is Abshalom's tomb There's one more move you have to make now. There's a church here, and I believe you can navigate So this is actually taking So this is the following the road the tourist road accessing Abshalom's tomb There's a path leading down here. So the trail actually takes that Path and then it emerges Onto dark here we go here. Now you have to you can't continue through the valley because there's a church here and There's also a church here and at the moment because of COVID this has turned off. So the way the trail route goes is You cross the road at this point and then continue So there is clearly a way around the tomb of the Virgin that will continue you through this valley So what it looks like from the map is you need to just kind of navigate around some trail pass Around the church and then you continue through the valley This is where I did another YouTube video the other day. So this is The neighborhood of Asawana and there's a street running through Asawana that bisects Between these two parks and it's listed on the map as Shamuil Street with the junction at Oram el-Kais And then just on the top of the hill There's a there's a Palestinian hospital a red crescent society hospital. So this has you actually I'm not proceeding through the park but coming up here By the Ibrahim by this road here Then that'll lead you to the sifting project if you follow the trail path Crossing over The road there must be a flyover at some point taking a left just before the Hebrew University campus meandering right here Now there is one trail map. I've been able one printed trail map. I've been able to to track down Feel your shalaim at sold in the Tachana So you can you can buy one of those and then there is or you could use this This if you have the Google my maps up on your phone, you could import this GPX file or again, I'd be happy to share it I just leave a comment while I guess don't leave a comment with your Gmail or Contact me on the about page of this YouTube There's an email address and I'll send you the GPX So then continue with the disclaimer don't rely upon it, etc. Because there is definitely, you know This area crossing steel one might be might be a little bit uncomfortable for some people then it loops back skirts along the 60 proceeds on to Shivta Yisrael and then there's a right turn here Going up on to Yaffo in fact meandering at Hamash beer turning back on to looping back on to your Moshe Salomon Right turn actually on Hillale Street Then I'm right on King George then a left on a grip us Continuing with a grip us Continuing with the grip isn't this is why it goes out of the city So let's see where we were here a grip ass crossing over The intersection passing the new trains the new train straight the new train station. It's Hachnavon Out past the cords bridge Staying on the right of the intersection then meandering down into lifted looks like yep Going through lifta and then at the start of the National Park Sorak Following the trail route thereby crossing over the one At Tursi now taking a left to follow this trail here Now how Sora going out out out out out and then we're crossing back over the one at lifta So there's a crossing here. This will bring you to these are the beautiful gardens of lifta Which I've also done a YouTube video of and then continuing. There's a trail here at the back at the southern side of Lifta that's going to be running south west South west south west Jviel Yerushalayim Street, so at least this one is listed on the Google Maps Feel Yerushalayim Street, and then this is the this is the most open part of the park if you will then crossing the 395 and then concluding here just past the Sataf cafe and at this point you join up with the Israel National Trail So that is basically a narration of this GPX file for the Jerusalem Trail and just to clarify on the other side the starting point We had here Was also a point on the Israel National Trail. So it comes off the Israel National Trail. That was by Just south west just by Evans up here and then looping into Hadassah in Kerim
