Having woken up at an ungodly hour, I picked up Roman and together we went cycling in the Carmel mountains. We climbed from Yokne'am to Dir El Muhraka ("The burning place monastery"), where Elijah confronted the priests of Baal, and returned via Derech Hasadot and Derech Nof Carmel.
Info on the Muhraka can be found here in Hebrew, and info on the Camelite christian order can be found here in English.
