Directions: Travel on Highway 89 towards Nahariya towards Mizrahi/Safed. Just before Hurfeish, turn left on Highway 8925 towards Fassuta/Elkosh/Abirim. Pass Elkosh and Fassuta and just before entering the village of Abirim there is a green sign with a cattle gate next to it. You can park your car there and start the route from there. Walk about 150 meters until you reach a sign that says “Knights Stronghold” (מצד אבירים), where you turn right and after 50 meters you reach the site.
The Knights Stronghold dates back to the Roman-Byzantine period (1500-2000 years ago), built of huge stones. When you climb the walls of the building, a breathtaking view opens up before us. The walk to the stronghold is through a Mediterranean forest where you can see pre-season bloom and be impressed by oak and sycamore trees.
