A new trail is opening up at the National Park of Masada. The most visited park in the country has always been fascinating with its combination of majestic beauty, preserved archaeological treasures including King Herod’s palace and its riveting historical story. Visitors had the option of climbing the steep Snake Path to the top, or the Roman siege ramp or the cable car. Now, the Nature and Parks Authority has opened up a new trail that will allow visitors – who are not afraid of hieghts – to go beyond the walls and down the cliffs. It’s called the Masada challenge. Reporter Arieh O’Sullivan got a chance to have a look at the trail before it officially opens this weekend. He spoke with Noa Gordon, manager of Masada National Park.
