About the trail
The Jesus Trail follows paths linked to Jesus' ministry through Cana, the Horns of Hattin and Mount Arbel. It is a mix of Christian pilgrimage and nature walk, and is usually completed in three to four days.
Between the holy sites it crosses farmland, olive groves and Arab and Jewish villages, and from the cliffs of Mount Arbel walkers get their first full view of the lake. The last day runs along the shore past Tabgha and the Mount of Beatitudes to the ruins of Capernaum.
