Walking on high at Etgar-Bahar Rope Park in Kibbutz Sasa
Etgar-Bahar is the largest rope park in Israel. It began as a project for kids of the kibbutz but was developed further when its potential was realized. The main attractions are a high trail with 16 challenging bridges 3 to 10 meters above ground for children aged 9 years and above (minimum height 1.35 meters) and adults, an omega, and a 10-meter climbing wall. There is also a medium trail for children 6 to 9 years of age and a children’s trail for 3 to 6-year-olds with a mini-rope park.
Time: Reckon on about 2 hours.
Directions: Enter “Sasa” into Waze and follow the signs once you are inside the kibbutz. There is a parking lot outside the rope park.
Admission. The park opens at 9.00 a.m. and the last admission is at 1.00 p.m. It is closed on Shabbat. There are shaded picnic tables outside the park.
