The route begins in the square near Rosh Hanikra, from here go down to the beach, in front of you you will see the remains of an ancient quarry and small pools of water that remained here to testify to days when it passed through trade on the kurkar ridge and in kurkar, other uses were made, such as quarrying stones for construction and mining ponds for the purpose collecting salt.
To the north is the Sulam Tzur ridge, which crosses the border between Israel and Lebanon, and the white cliff of Rosh Hanikra, which kisses the sea.
