Away from the bustle of center city Jerusalem, the charming village of Tzur Hadassah is located 20 minute drive from the center.
Located just beyond Hadassah Medical Center on the outskirts of
Jerusalem, Tzur Hadassah has an unusually high proportion of artists to
ordinary folk. Art is in the air in this charming village - see it on
sign posts, colorful gardens, door plaques, and even in the
well-furnished children's playground in the center of the village.
This

mountain bike enthusiasts descend on the surrounding area and bike on
paths through the surrounding forest.
