Manara Funicular

05/24/2014

Today, I took a drive up to Metulla, a point that is right on the Lebanese border. In fact, there is a nice lookout point where you can see into Lebanon with your bare eyes. I was enjoying the view and just chilling there, when a bunch of people came to have a loud ceremony, so I left to find another quiet place. Just past Kiryat Shmona, I saw signs for a funicular, so that's where I went. Manra is actually a very interesting place that I need to go back to with friends sometime. It's sort of like an active amusement park. They had trampolining, mountain biking, a climbing wall, some sort of go-kart rollercoaster, a bunch of hiking trails, and the funicular. I just rode the funicular all the way up. For those who don't like heights, this might not be for you. However, for those who like seeing towns and farmland from above, you would enjoy it. At the top, there is restaurant, snack shop, and some nice places to sit, as well as some trails. I just chilled and enjoyed the scenery for a while, before heading back down and heading home.
