โMain points of interest
- David Waterfall โ a year-round waterfall along the course of the David Stream, to which there is access by a hiking trail, for all the family.
- Arugot Stream โa hiking trail for good walkers runs along the length of the stream, which flows all year round, to the Hidden Waterfall and the pools at the head of the stream.
- The Oasis Trail – ย a foot trail connecting the David Stream, the Arugot Stream, and the En Gedi Antiquities. The trail is a comfortable walk, and the part between the David Stream and En Gedi Antiquities National Park is accessible. Along the trail you can read and learn about the special natural abundance in this area. Among other things youโll find out about the flora and fauna, invasive species and sinkholes. And of course, youโll see the rich plant life with your own eyes and may meet animals along the way as well
- En Gedi Spring โ rises in the mountainside, and sustains abundant vegetation. By the spring are the remains of an ancient flour mill.
- Dudim Cave โ a small and intimate cave at the head of the David Waterfall.
The Chalcolithic temple โ the ruins of an ancient temple, close to En Gedi Spring. The temple is attributed to the Chalcolithic period (over 5,000 years ago), and attracted the faithful from the surrounding area. - The Dry Canyon โ a section of the David Stream (above the spring) in which there are depressions that fill up after the floods, and an impressive lookout – the Window Waterfall. For experienced hikers only.
- En Gedi Ascent โ 5 steep trails climbing up from the En Gedi oasis to the Judean Desert plateau: Mt Yishay Ascent, En Gedi Ascent (an ancient path that some consider to be the Tsits Ascent mentioned in II Chronicles 20:16), the Bney Ha’Moshavim Ascent, the Essene Ascent (an ancient Roman path), and Tsruya Ascent. All are for experienced hikers only, and not for hiking during the summer or on very hot days.
- Tel Goren โ the remains of the ancient settlement at En Gedi. The mound was found to contain the remains of settlement from the Iron Age (the Biblical period), the Persian period, the Hellenistic period, and the Roman period.
- Monument commemorating the seven Hashomer Ha’Tsair cadets and the Palmach fighter who fell in the bonfire disaster during a hike to Masada at the time of the British Mandate.
