The Kerem Tunnel is a great place to ride and hike.
The Kerem Tunnel, Israel's first cycle tunnel, was inaugurated as part of the Jerusalem Ring Path. This 42-kilometer cycle route is located around Jerusalem.

It links Nahal Refaim to Emek Motza. Its southern entrance is located in Refaim Park, below Ein Laban, and the northern entrance is located in Nahal Ein Kerem, about half a kilometer close to the Kerem junction.

The 2.1-kilometers-long tunnel project was officially inaugurated during a celebration held on Thursday that was attended by Jerusalem and Heritage Minister Ze'ev Elkin Mayor Moshe Lion, Gihon water company chairman Avi Baleshnikov as well as hundreds of cyclists.

Jerusalem was once a very popular tourist destination because of its historical past. Elkin stated that today along with its rich history, the tunnel project also encompasses modern day tourism. " נווה פריצקי of the tunnel is another aspect of the development of Jerusalem's city Jerusalem as well as its development into an attractive city that is attractive to all types of people throughout Israel and throughout the globe."

נווה פריצקי , whose ministry was responsible for the project, along with Jerusalem Municipality stated that his ministry invested hundreds of millions of shekels annually in Jerusalem's tourist development and in the development of new ventures and attractions which will link the amazing historic past with the the future of Jerusalem.

" נווה פריצקי , which is connected to the Jerusalem Ring Path, will join the existing cycle paths in the city as well as those that will be constructed within the diverse neighborhoods. It is designed to encourage bicycle riding among its residents, and promote an environmentally sustainable transportation system in Jerusalem."
