Hamat Well was dug in soft clay layers and its walls are held by massive stones made of local limestone.<\/p>\n<p>We will walk along the <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">green-marked<\/span><\/strong><em> trail<\/em> for about 1.8 km, ascending patiently towards the eastern plain of Boar. The trail leads into a narrow desert gorge, which was constructed about 2000 years ago using layers of stone and soil. The trail turns right and then left, descending into a small channel. Within the channel, the trail leads to a fork in the road where the green and blue marked trails split. Following the <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>blue marker<\/strong><\/span> to the left, we exit the channel in a general southeast direction. After about 600 meters of <strong>slow ascent,<\/strong> the stunning landscape suddenly opens up to the Boar Crater at our feet.<\/p>\n<p>Returning to the car, we will go back on the blue-marked trail for about 2.4 km and arrive at the present-day parking lot of Hamat Boar to conclude the trip. We recommend taking advantage of the breathtaking view for photography and water breaks. If you are taking this route after a rainy winter, it&#8217;s a great pleasure to dip in the Hamat Boar pool at the end of the trail.<\/p>\n<p>Return options: returning to Mizpe or arranging for transportation from the Hamat Boar parking lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","blocation":[],"duration":[],"time":[],"season":[],"level":[],"location":[],"class_list":["post-901","trail","type-trail","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/negevtrails.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trail\/901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/negevtrails.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trail"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/negevtrails.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/trail"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/negevtrails.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"blocation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/negevtrails.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blocation?post=901"},{"taxonomy":"duration","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/negevtrails.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/duration?post=901"},{"taxonomy":"time","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/negevtrails.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/time?post=901"},{"taxonomy":"season","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/negevtrails.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/season?post=901"},{"taxonomy":"level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/negevtrails.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/level?post=901"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/negevtrails.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
