Rte 89: Tombs of the Righteous, Safed, Israel |
|
|
|
Although a bit like a treasure hunt, seeking out Tombs of the Righteous can lead you into wooded areas in the Upper Galilee. Biriya Forest, behind the ancient town of Safed and the 100-year-old village of Rosh Pina, has numerous Tombs to explore. Look out for white domes, under which you will see Hebrew lettering. If the tomb is one of the more popular ones, you will probably see bits of cloth and material tied onto the entrance, put there by past visitors. Two of the sites where the Tombs of the Righteous are located also have boutique wineries at the same location.
Tip: Combine fruit of the vine tastings and visits to sacred tombs.
Recommended accommodations:
