HaHamisha Forest and Neve Ilan Forest are in the heart of the Jerusalem Mountains, to the north of Route 1. The forests cover the open areas between Sha'ar HaGai and Har Adar, and the kibbutzim Kiryat Anavim and Ma'ale HaHamisha and the community of Neve Ilan are within its area. The mountain summits ascend to a height of approximately 800 m and the deep valleys between the mountains, the rich vegetation and the sites of the past and heritage all guarantee travelers in the area a spectacular and fascinating panorama.
