Mountain Air, Mushroom Soup

Pick Mount Meron or the Birya forest for a morning walk among tall pines and quiet trails. Bring another couple, split into pairs on the path, then meet for a mushroom soup lunch at a small Galilee restaurant. Insider tip: go on a weekday morning when the forest is nearly empty and the light through the trees is at its best. Finish with strong coffee somewhere with a view before the drive home.
