Více o knize

The extensive hiking trail system in Israel, spanning over ten thousand kilometers, serves as a vital aspect of the country's culture and identity. Walking the Land offers an academic examination of these trails, including the prominent Israel National Trail, which runs from north to south. This system, marked by colorful blazes, influences popular culture and national discourse yet remains largely overlooked by international visitors and scholars. The book delves into the trails' historical significance and their role in national identity and conservation efforts.
