- V Frances; V Podensis; V Francigena; V Portugues; V Francigena del Sud; Jakobsweg. Jaffa - Jerusalem
Re my intended December walk from Jaffa to Jerusalem, I have pretty much sorted out my route etc.
There are many interesting POIs along this route: Important sites relating to the 1948 War of Independence, a British Cemetery at Ramla dating back to WW1, tombs of Old Testament Prophets (eg Dan) and the reputed graves of St George and Abraham, places associated with the old Jaffa-Jerusalem railway, the Israel Burma Road (google it) etc.
This is a short walk, but after planning it I was surprised by the number of interesting places to see. I am sure I have only scratched the surface.
Unfortunately, for some reason I don't understand, I cannot insert a working link here to the HTML map on Google Drive. GPSvisualizer only allows downloads of maps in HTML format, alas.
If anyone is really interested, just PM me with an email address and I will send you the actual GPX files covering WPs, Accom. Food and POIs. Disclaimer: None of the data has been checked in the field - it is purely a desktop planning exercise.
