Li On: Climbing, Hiking and Crafts

Li On offers something for a range of interests: climbing at a bouldering wall built and run by residents in Srigim, hiking from a nearby trailhead, and activities centered on silver and coffee. The Srigim Brewery adds two distinctly different beer styles. When choosing a vacation rental, it helps to keep these highlights in mind: are you more interested in outdoor activities, a craft, or local products? This can help you plan your trip around the experiences that appeal to you most.

Bouldering and hiking: two different locations

The bouldering wall in Srigim, built and run by residents, is supported by the community and attracts climbers from surrounding towns. It is both a climbing spot and a community-led project. If you are planning to visit the wall, check access arrangements in advance.

The KKL hiking trail Shvil HaElot begins at the Srigim parking lot in Britannia Park. The lot is near the village of Srigim, not within it. These are two separate points of reference when planning your day: the bouldering wall is in Srigim, while the named starting point for the trail is the parking lot. If you are choosing your vacation rental based on a particular activity, this distinction may help with your planning.

Silver, coffee and different beer styles

Orit Navon Cohen offers weekly silversmithing lessons and workshops for groups of up to 5–6 participants. Lessons are tailored to each person’s pace of learning. The group size and individual learning pace give the activity a specific character; if you would like to schedule a visit, check the current timetable in advance.

AGROCAFE offers coffee workshops lasting about an hour, with explanations and tastings. The approximate duration helps you fit the workshop into your schedule, while the explanations and tastings focus on coffee itself. Ask the venue about current arrangements.

The Srigim Brewery in Srigim (Li-On) offers two beer ranges: the Ella Valley range is in a classic European style, while the Ronen range is in an American craft beer style. Comparing the two lines makes different beer styles a local point of interest. Silversmithing lessons, coffee and beer appeal to different interests, which you can prioritize separately or together when planning your trip.

Jerusalem as the wider destination

The wider destination of Jerusalem has its own cultural and historical focus. Jerusalem holds great symbolic significance as a holy city for Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Old City of Jerusalem and its walls encompass 220 historical monuments; the Dome of the Rock in the Old City was built in the 7th century. The new permanent exhibition at the Tower of David Jerusalem Museum spans ten galleries and combines innovative technology and interactive presentations with archaeological finds and ancient artifacts.

The viewpoint on the Phasael Tower offers another perspective: it is 777 meters above sea level and provides a 360-degree view of Jerusalem’s Old and New Cities. The Jerusalem Walls National Park is in the center of Jerusalem and includes historical, archaeological and religious sites. It was designated to preserve historical, archaeological, traditional, architectural and landscape values for public benefit.

For hiking enthusiasts, the Jerusalem Trail connects Jerusalem with the Israel Trail. Its route passes through the Jerusalem Walls National Park, along the Kidron Stream and through the Hinnom Valley. So the wider destination includes not only historical sites but also named landscape features and a specific route. If you are planning a particular hike, it is a good idea to check current trail conditions.
